These are hard days. We hope you have found some company. We hope you have eaten and had water to drink and found beauty on this miraculous planet. It is ok to take time to absorb the shock and grieve, even if you are not surprised, and even if you had been hopeful. The systems of this country have been collapsing, and this will make it happen fast. It will be hard on people we love.

     We have tools and resources, and we have each other. Our connections are a power that authoritarianism doesn’t understand. We are acting for each other, with each other: self possessed and interwoven. Y’all - this is a secret power that we have. Let's gather it up.

     We invite, encourage, and excitedly implore you to read this piece by Daniel Hunter published in Waging Nonviolence. It's useful, pragmatic, and heartening. Then, join us on November 21st at 7 - 8:30pm to think about it together. To internalize it. We already do some of the things in the article in No Coal No Gas and we are ready to grow into some of the others. RSVP here for the zoom link:
