It is a perplexing and unpleasant truth that when men already have "something worth fighting for," they do not feel like fighting. People who live full, worthwhile lives are not usually ready to die for their own interests nor for their country nor for a holy cause. Craving, not having, is the mother of a reckless giving of oneself. "Things which are not" are indeed mightier than "things that are." In all ages men have fought most desperately for beautiful cities yet to be built and gardens yet to be planted... It is strange, indeed, that those who hug the present and hang on to it with all their might should be the least capable of defending it. And that, on the other hand, those who spurn the present and dust their hands of it should have all its gifts and treasures showered on them unasked.

Nat park locations for tomorrow, March 1: do you have a national park or public lands near you that you care about? I think we’re gonna drive to SF.
my ever present and effervescent reminder that if you're sad/worried/uncertain about what's coming in the US, it's good to join or form a group to process that and learn more about how to be a helper.
the #WorthFightingFor community discussion guides offer a template for pulling together friends or finding a local meet up where you live. I led a local group w/ their first meeting and found it helpful to share language and ideas and get on the same page with others
We are worth fighting for. Our freedom, our future, and our democracy demand it. With Donald Trump back in power, our rights and communities are under direct threat—but we won’t back down. Together, we’ll defy his agenda and fight for a nation that protects and uplifts us all.
