Part 1: Has Money Hurt You?

Diggs interviewed people who were poor and from her notes, she came up with a series of questions. Some of these included: What is satisfied in you by buying things? What if you only had what you needed? How do you show generosity if you have nothing? When did you last choose ethics over money? In what ways has money hurt you? These and other related questions were made into rubber stamps that were distributed around the country. The individual questions were stamped onto paper currency, and then distributed by spending.

Part 4: Working Flag

A major blue jean manufacturer in Greensboro, NC closed, laying off hundreds of employees. Diggs made several "seasonal flags" which normally hang outside residential homes, carrying cheerful messages. These were patched together with pieces of denim, spelling out HELP on one side and NEED WORK on the other.
