I thought for sure that the movements of the 1960s - '70s were going to save the world. And I still know that it was like a premonition of the type of thing we need even more today. I've spoken with four old friends in the past two days, all of whom are stunned at how bad things have gotten. All were local activists back in the day. They agreed that now they are retired, they have the time necessary to invest in social-political activities -- starting with the ground work to prevent republicans from gaining seats in 2022. And that involves focusing on the environmental issues that should unite people .....even though that implies changing lifestyles.
