Yes, Active Hope! Joanna Macy, “If the world is to be healed through human efforts, I am convinced it will be by ordinary people, people whose love for this life is even greater than their fear.”
Moving to Maine to help flip the switch! Thx for once again walking the talk and inspiring the rest of us to pick something and go forward heart & soul.
I wrote to my state representatives to demand that they tax the rich just as much as the rich in our state will get tax breaks from the federal ugly bill.
If you haven’t seen the mounting evidence that the 2024 election was manipulated electronically after votes were cast, check out the Smart Elections, Election Truth Alliance and The Common Coalition websites. These nonprofits are advocating for audits that can prove, once and for all, whether the 2024 election was manipulated or not. If it was, the midterms are at risk, and election security needs to be radically improved or Republicans will retain their majorities.
These authors seem to debunk the “stolen election” scenario. If there is evidence of manipulation, it will be presented in court for the lawsuit that has been filed.
Thank you for all you do. And thank you so very much for reintroducing me to Joanna Macy! In her beautiful article in Spiritual Ecology—a few years ago now—I saw myself! (In the Rilke way) I keep this book close and have begun to reread parts of it again, and I’m so inspired. I hear the call.
Today I’ve been under the weather and might not have listened to all your links to interviews with Joanna. I’m so grateful for this slowing down that seemed imposed against my will (😂), and it was absolutely necessary. Embracing it and linking again to you and to Joanna Macy!
Also, just to share a bit more, my husband and I are in the long planned for process of “retiring” in France. My ancestors come from there and other European landscapes (Ireland, Scandinavia too) and (I’m a retired clinical social worker) I’ve long felt the call to be there. A call to tune into those landscapes within me and work with the indigenous wisdom and trauma from those places and within me/us. And very much move into the place of greater awareness and blending for our future way in the timeframe of the great unraveling/great turning.
I’ve visualized in this next year in France finding land where we could invite intimate groups of people to gather to listen and reimagine themselves/their roles. Each group would have their own reasons for being there and my husband and I would offer the opportunities of place, meditation, creative art with nature, and journaling, voice and sound work, etc. It would be a place rich also in the history of transition and becoming where ideas of inalienable rights began to take root for the people. Empowerment.
I am listening to this unfolding. So wonderful to reconnect with Joanna Macy.
If Lander decides to challenge Goldman, I am ALL IN!!! The key is the collaboration within the platform. This is the politics that Americans are hungry for.
Thanks for this Ayana. All in & Jul 3 was a sad day for America. Reading again today Jane Goodhall's "Hope" book & - channelling the 'indomitable human spirit'. Just back from London climate week where there was so much energy, hope, action .... supporting Hannah Pingree campaign in any way In can. Know you are super busy - anytime want to meet in Freeport would welcome the energy. 🙏
I’m in Georgia. The public service commission is hugely holding us back in clean energy. Really important race! Calling voters here would be great. Very low turnout.
Love this. Thank you for your continued leadership Ayana. What can those of us outside the US do to support this effort (because we know what's going on in the US is affecting us all) other than forwarding this to our American friends?
Hi and thanks. I’m from Perth, Australia, an observer of US POLITICS in general, Trump, in particular, and Republicans as tragic sycophants. Once upon a time I admired the US. - so sad!

Thank you, Ayana, for the hope and the action plan on this very dark day.
YES. Thank you.
