    Coping with Anger and Despair: Connecting Inner Growth with Outer Change

    Saturday, November 16 | 10am PT / 11am MT / Noon CT / 1pm ET

    Living a meaningful life for many includes personal development and contributing to the improvement of the lives of others and preservation of the natural world.

    The current external environmental, economic, political and social crises present greater challenges for concerned activists of any degree to achieve positive change, which can lead to anger, grief, despair, burnout and other feelings and conditions – especially for those who haven't sufficiently reflected on their inner values and capacities.

    This includes Move to Amend leadership. Others are aware of current realities but not actively involved due to feeling isolated, insecure, overwhelmed and discouraged that meaningful external change is achievable, which is reinforced by society that tells us we are incapable of improving external conditions.

    Repressing anger, grief, and despair and accepting burnout, however, is not an option. Only by overcoming them can we achieve liberation.

  • Our Boxed in Elections and Elected Officials

    If you already voted or will tomorrow, you know that elections involve boxes. It may be the box where you drop your ballot outside a Board of Elections headquarters. It might be the 3-sided box stand where you place your ballot to vote in private. Or it could be the secure receptacle where your completed ballot is transported from your voting location to the country Board of Elections for tabulation.

    But there’s still another box that involves elections, actually more like the winners of elections. That’s the ever diminishing space elected officials face on all sides to govern, especially if their goal is to genuinely serve the public interest and to ensure a livable natural world. 

    The U.S. Constitution boxes in the actions of public officials and, for that matter, all of us. It delineates the extent of our democratic space, rights and responsibilities. Its size has expanded when many Constitutional Amendments like abolishing slavery and the poll tax and granting women the right to vote were passed following broad peoples’ movements. The box has also been enlarged following Constitutional interpretations by the Supreme Court.

    But other Supreme Court interpretations have vastly decreased our democratic space – the box that was never was very large to begin with since We the People have never included all the people.

    Many of those interpretations involved Supreme Court rulings affirming the power and rights of corporations over the power and rights of citizens and workers. Following each Supreme Court decision, our democratic space contracted. The democratic box became smaller.
