Keeping Ashes
by Kay Kestner:
Keeping Ashes
Believe in the light of this fire,
fed with our own blood. We scarred
ourselves into the sun, wanting
to be people we were not
meant to be.
Take the ashes from the charred
timbers of our dreams. Carry
them with you always.
And remember
even if they choose to call
it failure, we were all
in it together, and that
is all that matters.

Do Something for Democracy
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.
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!
