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!

Emerald City–Starting a Green Entrepreneurs Program in Bayview Hunters Point

And they all dive into the work—once we hand out gloves! Actually putting your hands into the dirt will be another long-term learning process.
