Phyllis Eckhaus wrote these wonderful and honest words and its hard not to agree with them.
"Adult life is a more-or-less-conscious battle with existential dread. There are so many haunting precipitous terrors before us—from climate change to war to superbugs to the fact that we’re all gonna die. Perhaps Trump’s “me and mine first” crude rude embrace of power and prejudice offers talismanic comfort to his followers.
Politics
is about power…and only the most privileged can afford to ignore the
looming terror of navigating the world with neither power nor
protection, of being at the mercy of ruthless others".

After reading the above I hope that you will understand that the need to stand collectively is more vital than ever before. We all need to to connect with those of a like mind and then to together embrace the possibility of creating effective community actions or behaviours that can lead to change, real change for both individuals and society at large...
