Renew:
Let's Do It Again! Redo! Do-Over!
NCSE
Create ‘n participate in the ultimate advocacy:
Our
National Civic Service Engagement (NCSE)
Our 1935 New Deal ‘Work Project Administration’ (WPA) was a major catapult for our country.
At the time of crisis, a whopping ninety years later, let us lift our voices, pride ‘n spirit through
education, training, new jobs ‘n public service in our arts, sciences ‘n six life-care services.
Let’s rebuild ‘n lay new infrastructure for our future.
The precedent has been set. Let’s do it again.
A Modest Core Piece Proposal:
A good start may be creating our long overdue:
Journey Toward Justice Tour
Art Installations throughout the United States of the Americas
Commemorating the Many Courageous People ‘n Vital Events
Who/that Advanced Our Perceptions ‘n Practice of Democracy
Why?
Let us do it for the most important reason: For the Sake of Our Young.
What Lies Beyond? More!
Our work has just begun.
If we are to realize our catalogue of storytelling,
If we are to realize our mended piece-quilt,
If we are to realize our goals of Social Equity,
We must discuss, debate and draw consensus through the art of negotiation.
Wherefore, engaged, thoughtful storytelling is crucial to Advocacy.
There are pressing state ‘n federal bills ‘n laws to reinforce, revise or repudiate;
there are unjust ones to strike down, just ones to uphold ‘n new ones to propose;
there are constitutional, economical, educational, medical, protective, sexual,
scientific and environmental issues to address with many people
precariously perched and in need of our understanding and help.
If we slide into apathy, if we forfeit empathy,
we will never achieve our potential unity.
Likewise, we cannot provide just care for all by
sentiment alone–just caring for all is insufficient.
Action informed by feelings of empathy is the
only true course of mending.
