Permaculture in Palestine
The olives are flowering on my land in California right now, just as they are in the olive groves of Palestine. In a few weeks I’ll be heading there to coteach a permaculture course at the Marda Permaculture Farm on the West Bank, together with Klaudia van Gool from England and Murad Al-Khufash, who runs the demonstration farm and who is bringing the tools and insights of permaculture to Palestine...we need to raise five thousand dollars to support the costs of the course and to make it available for Palestinians who suffer many economic privations under the Occupation. Donate online here: http://www.thefarm.org/etc.
January 2013 Earth Activist Training in Pictures!
I’ve been wanting to write about our Earth Activist Training but made the mistake of actually taking a few days off, afterwards—
But here's pictures! It was an amazing training—our most diverse yet, because we had a little money left over from a grant, so I decided to offer diversity scholarships to people of color who are working on environmental and food justice.

My State of the Union
During Obama’s State of the Union message, I was scheduled to give a talk at Northern Arizona University on “Women Taking Action: Using the Insights of the Feminist Movement.” As part of it, I decided to write the State of the Union as if Obama were suddenly possessed by the spirit of the nurturing, caring, [...]

Winter Solstice 2012
So let this Solstice be a time when we all put our intention toward the change, and draw forth the strength, the courage and the determination to bring that new world into being.
I Feel So Much Safer Now!
I feel so much safer now, don’t you? Now that so many states are allowing teachers to bring guns to school! High time! Why just yesterday I took little Emmie to kindergarten for her very first day. She looked so adorable with her pink-enameled Baby Browning packed into her Hello Kitty holster. I felt so proud!
I slung my Remington over my shoulder—it’s only a semi-automatic but I didn’t want to be overdressed...
Now That The Election is Over…
Organizing after an Obama victory is like bicycling with the wind at your back, instead of peddling into a stiff head wind. I’ve lived and organized through the victories of Nixon, Reagan, Bush and Bush, and believe me, this is better! And we have a lot of organizing to do.

Elections 2012: Lessons from Katrina
Yet there is a world of difference between the disaster response under Obama compared to that of the government-hating Republicans. Romney has explicitly proposed dismantling FEMA and turning disaster relief over to the states and to private enterprise. When we consider the prospect of Halliburton and its like profiteering on the pain and suffering of disaster victims in a world where floods and hurricanes and tornadoes are bound to increase, we should tremble with fear.

Elections 2012
Include in your ideals the real-life impact a Republican victory would have on a young black woman from the inner city, on an aging writer, on hundreds and thousands of other folks here and around the world for whom the nuances of difference might mean life or death.
Then vote your conscience. But for Goddess sake, get off your high horse and your butts and get out there and vote!

A Pagan Response to the Affordable Care Act
Jason Pitzi-Waters, of the Pagan Newswire Collective, asked a few of us to respond to the Supreme Court's decision that the Affordable Care Act is constitutional. Here's mine:...Universal access to health care is consonant with our core Pagan values of interconnection and interdependence. The Affordable Care Act is a small step toward that end, flawed but better than no change at all.
