The Empty Bottles
by Kay Kestner:
The Empty Bottles
His father is a line of empty bottles
his mother will not throw away.
Days pass through the dusty glass
in fragmented patterns of light
decorating their home with
a lace of gray haze.
She keeps a long line of empty bottles
and prays every night that
her son will not recycle.

Do Something for Democracy
Given the rapid changes to our government in the United States, it’s vitally important for us to speak up. Silence and apathy will only embolden a leader who serves his own agenda – an agenda that undermines democracy both within the US and around the world.
Every small act adds up when we all “do something.” Even if it’s just making one call, once a week to one of your representatives – that adds up!
The resources on the Do Something for Democracy page give you ways you can take action. Find what fits your comfort level. No one can do it all, but we all can do a little something.
