What now?

Liberal and progressive values are in retreat everywhere. Is this
process irreversible? Not if we we understand how we came to this
point. We are seeing the results of a decades-long war by wealthy
individuals and corporations against gains made in the late 1960’s,
gains which briefly limited their freedom to exploit nature and
oppress marginalized peoples.

If we hope to recover from this relentless attack then we must be
fierce and strategic. Unless our zeal for human rights matches their
zeal for their suppression we lose. Unless we can focus our efforts
and forge unity of purpose we cannot achieve a critical mass to move
this country forward and advance the interests of all citizens, not
just the over-privileged elites.

You have only a few days left to register and vote. Do it as if your
lives depend on it. With onrushing climate change, they do.
