Casually
by Kay Kestner:
Casually
he drops the notice on the wind.
Too many debts,
who needs electric?
Just as he starts dinner
they cut the news off
and kill the microwave.
He pulls out a slice of bread,
sits by the window and thinks
they’ll never shut off the sun.
But, he knows, in the back of
his sedated mind, science is
casually trying to find a
way to turn out the sun.
The cure for skin cancer.
That’s what they’ll say.

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!
