After the protests are heard: enacting civic engagement and social transformation

We are in a struggle for the very soul of democracy, and all that we hold dear - interdependence, reason, compassion, respect for all human beings, and stewardship of the natural world that sustains us,- is under direct, unabashed assault.

This text is meant for those who are concerned about dangers to our democracy, and to our social health as a nation.

It is for those who desire to work for social justice, and to respond to essential protests by enacting progressive change.

The stories offered in this work provide examples of the critical work being done to create generative interdependence: a community that fully values diversity and connection, that nurtures creativity and scientific rigour, and that embodies responsibility for others and the freedom to find new and better ways of living out, and creating, expansive human communities of connection, respect and cooperation.
