In these dark times, celebrating the solstice can be a healthy natural reminder that the light will return. Recently, I have found great strength and beauty in the resources of a group that I urge you to check out: https://t.co/f93eJarygJ
With all the challenges facing our world these days, I am pleased to learn of the #CranesForOurFuture effort underway and to see its global reach. Let us remember the past and act to build a better future together.
Tomorrow is the last day to participate in #CranesForOurFuture! Still not sure how to fold a crane?

I’ve been pondering how lucky I am to be among the many who have had the opportunity to learn from and be inspired by the great Rev. Lawson. As is often the case, Rev. Barber said it best. Thank you both.
He has died, but so much lives because of him. America is in some ways alive today—esp the South—b/c of the way he taught the power & purpose of nonviolence. Without him the nation could have gone up in flames. He taught ppl how to be on fire for justice & truth without burning down that which you are trying to save.
Rest now, Rev Lawson, our champion. Your works follow you and live on in us.
Today many of us who were inspired by Rev. James Lawson celebrate his earthshaking commitment to active nonviolence. Learn more about how his work spread and changed so many lives at: https://t.co/PtYgB3qJ5i Don’t miss this powerful piece from @wagingnv https://t.co/h3BIsmpDiH
Thanks to the awesome @professorbetsey for her important piece in Time. “The people’s representatives could enact a national standard that closes loopholes and exceptions, righting a 100-year wrong that has been allowed to stand for far too long.” https://t.co/U4Blivzr3j

I joined the BIG march for Palestinian humanity in DC on November 4th. This event was part of a growing global movement. Please see my quick photo essay. Our hearts are breaking and we must find ways to take action. #CeasefireNOW#Solidarity#NeverAgain

I’m just off a three way video call with an impressive leader. I am moved every time I speak w/ @AlnaouqA of @WeAreNotNumbers When you are ready, please watch this painful, honest, meaningful video. Trigger / harsh reality warning. @IfNotNowOrg@jvplive https://t.co/7SLGXNByYG
In recent days, I've been back in touch w/ a guiding light who inspired me when we organized a big event together 15 years ago. What a JOY to be in conversation w/ her again. She told me we both went to Oberlin. The photo below makes me happy. Follow her if you want wisdom & fun!
My finished poems in the "heart sutra fragments" I've been slowly generating are included in this 400 page new anthology. This paperback includes a foldout map of the Cascadia bioregion in the back of the book, + indigenous art. https://t.co/fQVBYDQMAq
I'm honored to work to support @NVIntl 's fiscally sponsored partner @CJNVtweets Please support their solidarity fundraiser. Especially now in such difficult times, action remains a powerful antidote to despair. #coresistance Now more than ever. Shalom https://t.co/Qi8SfEovsQ
@AlnaouqA Those in this video are sick & wrong. Even in these dark times, please also hold up the powerful loving examples of @IfNotNowOrg & @jvplive & others raising up our shared humanity and reminding us all that if #NeverAgain is to have any meaning, it must mean Never Again for All.
@AlnaouqA “This belief is having a profound impact on key policy decisions and on people’s lives. Thus we have a clear and ongoing obligation to call out this evil from within our community. “ https://t.co/hk0BuT8XPj
@AlnaouqA “Anyone who pretends that a “Jewish soul” is superior to all others is warping our faith in a way that undermines our proud history.”
https://t.co/hk0BuT8XPj
@AlnaouqA “Every group should celebrate the unique beauty of their traditions, but whenever people suggest that “we” are somehow inherently better than “the other,” danger is close at hand.” https://t.co/hk0BuT8XPj
@AlnaouqA Dearest Ahmed, I’m so sorry for your unthinkable loss. Your call to oppose supremecy in our community is essential now & always. “We must actively oppose any attempts to use warped theological cover as an excuse for what comes down to Jewish supremacy. https://t.co/hk0BuT8XPj
Reflecting on this piece. Thanks @FORpeace “In this moment, I hope we can all agree that Palestinians are human beings deserving of the same basic rights as all other precious human beings. This should not be controversial, but sadly it clearly is.” https://t.co/hk0BuT8XPj
As we approach the Sabbath, I am grateful for the work of @IfNotNowOrg and @jvplive & all those in my community who are raising up Palestinian humanity. #NeverAgain must include all people. Sadly, this short video clip is all too relevant today. https://t.co/NncLoY5616
