Good ACTIVE day! Below are THREE actions you can take today to profoundly affect our democracy.
My wife and I work with the most amazing coach, both professionally and personally. When we suffer disconnect, either in the business or with each other, Mary Beth ask us what we’re in commitment to, being right or being in relationship?
Throughout this election cycle I’ve had rigorous debates, mostly bombasting each other through the ether, about our chosen candidate and why they are right for our country. We spent months standing fixed in the rightness of our choice and making other wrong for believing different. And our relationships with each other broke. Our progressive bonds, which were already tethered, weren’t secure enough to hold the weight of our varying opinions. The commitment to be right took us out of relationship with one another.
I say this knowing that not everybody experienced this, knowing that we all have growth and fixed in our mindset and knowing that my intention is to build bridges and, yet, my outrage is like a flamethrower.
The assault of the incoming administration hurts - the bigotry, the lack experience, the greed, the valuing wealth over humanity, it all so painful, surreal, disgusting and dangerous.
We are woke. Too many of our brothers and sisters never had the luxury of wakefully sleeping. And so, our number one priority is to be in relationship. With one another. To heal the divide. To use our skills and power of empathy. To understand why others are hurting and why hurt hurts.
Let’s make easy and start with our progressive brothers and sisters. Release ourselves from the Bernie’s and Hillary’s and Jill’s and not voting because we are all in this together. When I make you wrong or you need to be right, we are out of relationship. When you think or do in a way I don’t understand, my purpose becomes inquiry and understanding the why’s of you. The fact remains that we are stronger together.
I am committed to thinking globally, acting locally, loving you for you are and working as hard as can to understand why those who think, feel and act differently do so. The only way we can endure and rise from this cruelty is to build as many bridges across as many divides as possible. Our democracy depends on us.
TODAY’S ACTION
1.CALL OH GOV JOHN KASICH 614-466-3555 to urge him to say NO to HB493, a bill would require by law that doctors check for heartbeats and ban an abortion once the heartbeat is heard. This is the most restrictive anti-choice law being considered in the US. Reproductive health and decisions belong to women and their partners, not the government.
2.CALL PRESIDENT OBAMA AND, AGAIN, ASK THAT HE APPOINT MERRICK GARLAND. 202-456-1111. On January 3rd, Obama can appoint Merrick Garland to the Supreme Court. He can. He should. We must convince him. He has the power to fill vacancies when during the Senate recess. Just look at action #1 to reinforce why this is absolutely critical. Email
3.FOSTER CAMPBELL. We have 4 days until the Louisiana run off election that could give democrats at 49th Senate seat. Let’s make this happen. Donate, make calls and tell everybody you know in Louisiana to get involved and get people to the polls to do the right thing.
A little something to think about from Bill Moyer - Hillary Clinton’s Inaugural Address.
PLEASE SHARE WITH 10 PEOPLE and ask them to do the same.
Email me if 1) you’d like to add others to this list, 2) if you’d like to be removed from these daily actions, 3) you have suggestions for actions we should be taking.
Fight the hate and keep the faith.
Gratitude and love to you -
