The sane caring people of Earth are sad, worried and looking for something meaningful to do. Our movement, based on an approach that historically works, offers them genuine hope. But they should join!

There is a history of movements, and experts who learned the hard way how movements succeed—and fail. Unlike Gandhi and King, we don’t need to discover or invent a framework for people power, for big changes from the bottom up.

That work has been done. It’s up to us to learn those lessons and adapt them for our current time and situation.

Tens of millions of Americans today are acutely aware of the danger our country and our planet is in. They understand that people who are hell-bent on destroying the Earth’s climate for power and profit are about to take control of the government. They understand that this new government dehumanizes people in preparation for abusing them.

They understand the orgy of hate, and possibly violence, that is about to take place.

There is a way to thwart evil and reverse course. It’s too complicated to explain in detail here. But as we deal with the immediate high profile situation, we are speeding toward doom from unabated climate collapse.
