First we battled and defeated the authoritarian oligarchs of the Kingdom of Great Britain to gain our nation's freedom from British royal rule. Then we battled and defeated the authoritarian oligarchs of the South to save our nation from the hate of slavery. Next we battled the oligarchs of the Industrial Revolution who abused of millions of low-wage workers, crashed the world's economy and brought us their Great Depression.
Now we are in the final battle with our latest crop of excessively wealthy, authoritarian, anti-democratic oligarchs from Big Oil, Big Pharma, Wall Street Hedge Funds, multinational Banks, and propagandistic High Tech.
If the oligarchs win in the coming elections with their billions in monied speech, we will all be enslaved in a pseudo-democracy where the oligarchs have veto power over any attempts of government to control their insatiable greed. But it's not inevitable!
America is battling for its soul one more time. There's a darkness over the country that can be characterized by gloom or hope: "Is this the darkness of the tomb - or the darkness of the womb?"
Although we've mounted a powerful resistance to tyranny, injustice and violence during the Trump era, with 202[2] in sight, we need more than resistance. We need to birth a new America. The extraordinarily passionate and effective civil rights attorney, faith leader and activist Valarie Kaur shares why she's convinced that what our times demand is Revolutionary Love. It's an orientation to life and our movements that harnesses all of the body's emotions--grief, rage, and joy--and calls us to our highest bravery. We need to reclaim love as a form of sweet labor "fierce, demanding, and life-giving "and draw from the wisdom of the midwife: when in labor, breathe and push!
Don't let the oligarchs bury our democratic experiment. Bury them with your vote and a "labor of revolutionary love!" Love of UNITY!
Declare your love for all who are in harm's way...Declare your love even for our opponents.
Declare your love for yourself
