The Time is still NOW.
"If we remember those times and places - and there are so many - where people have behaved magnificently, this gives us the energy to act, and at least the possibility of sending this spinning top of a world in a different direction. And if we do act, in however small a way, we don't have to wait for some grand utopian future. The future is an infinite succession of presents, and to live now as we think human beings should live, in defiance of all that is bad around us, is itself a marvelous victory." Howard Zinn, A Power Governments Cannot Suppress
Many of you were with us on January 9th, 2017 when more than 500 people stuffed themselves into the Wheaton Community Center to begin the work that will culminate with our victories in March and November...The time is now for us each to contribute in our "small way" and here are several ways that you can do that today.
Find an action group that matches your talents and to which you are willing to commit a small amount of time to (we are also in need of more leadership if your time and inclinations permit!)
Commit to taking a little bit of time out of each week to work your DEMOCRACY BLOCKS, that is the few blocks around your home. Get those people to the polls and you are part of creating "the possibility of sending this spinning top of a world in a different direction"--a better direction for all of your neighbors. Better jobs, better homes, better education, better healthcare and so much more. To support our local work financially, please give your monthly gift Here! (and THANK YOU!) Thanks!
