in action there is hope



what we're seeing is dogged racism, persistent environmental harm and negligence, cultural erasures, weaponized ignorance and the incredible mindlessness of an unchecked id; everything good our past, great president did attacked by strategies to overturn it, all in the name of racism. the focal point is the same with these attacks, the fear of women's blood, the constant drum of misogyny, the heartless and incongruous acts of stating you're for coal miners than allowing the waters where they live to be polluted by the industry....these are not inconsistencies that are heard above the din of hate; but the root is the same and you can trace it to the threat to all our public lands and artifacts - Dakota pipeline, wetlands across the country, New Jersey Pinelands threatened; you can trace the directed harm to all, whether an infrastructure or system like Flint's water contaminated, whether the drawing's of the native people, or when the animals that need protection are removed from those protections, or when the children and elderly that need clean drinking water and healthcare are threatened to have their resources pulled, you can trace these harmful policies and threats to the same source. all resistance and support for these causes helps. it makes a difference. in action there is hope.
