Welcome to the Intersection of Equality and Liberation

Urgency, I am feeling urgency.  Not like time is running out but that the time is now.  My friend, Lowell told me the time is now.  We are standing on a field of possibility, like hatching eggs that are carefully cracking from the inside.  Thoughts are breaking through, fools are speaking loudly - announcing their addlepated brains are at wit’s end, wise ones are finding one another and, most importantly, we cannot go back.  New activists are sitting in classrooms, in circles in community rooms, on pavement at the intersection of Equality & Liberation.  I need to tell them something. 

There are people who just need to know that the time is now.  They need to know that the stirring of activism is real and how to foster it.  There are students who are so overwhelmed with the enormity of possibilities, have no idea where to start.  They need some direction on how change occurs. 

There are people of all ages who see what is going on but are stalled.  They sit in uncertainty.  They wonder about the next step, their step, the sure step.  Or they see only those already down the track and think, “Why start now?”  “I could never do that.”  And all they need to know is to take THEIR next brave step.  In fact, that step is the only one that matters.

There are people who have lost their fire.  They don’t know that rest and pause and a time-out is right, is a component to success.  The pilot light is still lit.  They just need to know how to boost the flame.  They need to find their way back into the political arena.

There are activists who have forgotten to change with the times and now the tools of 2012 appear out of reach.  I meet people all the time who think activism ended in the 70’s and they are just looking in the wrong direction.  Not only is it a loss for them but a terrible loss for current day movements.  I need to find these people.  I have something to say.   

I woke up on June 6, bought some urls*, collected my courage, threw out doubt, built some websites, started a facebook page and am facing down 64.  I am taking it on the road with one mission, to welcome you to the intersection of Equality & Liberation.
