A small girl wearing a rabbit costume and blue coat carries a book as she walks to school. Her mother (head out of shot) wheels her baby brother along in a pushchair. The baby says "Peter Rabbit may be the 'Hero' of the story, but surely the obedient, widowed Mrs Rabbit is a more effective symbol of the oppression inherent within Mister McGregor's regime" The girls looks furious and snaps "Mum!! He's critiquing my world book day costume from a marxist perspective again!"

What if there was a mindful way to steal people’s art, pollute Black neighborhoods, and raise everyone’s electric bill?
If you are feeling helpless in the face of All Of It (and it's a lot), I am telling you: find a way to plug in locally.

The first org you find may not be the one. But you will get there.
It will help your heart.
