Staying aware in times of despair
These last 3 weeks have been staggering:  the attacks in Paris, the release of the horrifying video of Laquan McDonald's murder, Jamar Clark's apparent execution at the hands of Minneapolis police, the black protesters being shot by white supremicists in Minneapolis, the Planned Parenthood shooter last Friday in Colorado Springs, the escalation of the wars in the Middle East, dramatic loss of civil liberties in France- effecting the climate change protests during this week's crucial summit, the trail of the Baltimore officers involved in Freddie Gray's killing, the shooters in San Bernardino....

How can we cope and deal with this barrage of heinous information.  How do we remain defiant, strong, and principled as we integrate current events into our world view? How do we continue the work of social justice, with compassion, in a time of global despair?

One way is to find connection with others of like minds, and Positively Revolting is a weekly resource for doing just that. By encouraging people to share their dissenting opinions, critical observations, and questions about how things are, we are exposed to wonderfully different perspectives and find we are not alone.

Join Lyn and ani in a discussion about what we fear, what we desire, and what we are doing about it.
