History’s Tangle
by Kay Kestner:
History’s Tangle
Entwined in history’s books often
left unread, we try to untangle
a myth from a lie, pulling
on one at a time. Often just
trying to get a finger far enough
into the loop, hoping to shake
something loose, knowing we
might pull the knot tighter. Trying
anyway. Uncertainty. Centuries
twisted into some future rage.
Somewhere in the middle we
pull out the string that holds the
pain, and then only the thread
of truth remains.

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!
