MORSEL OF HOPE
Reasons to be hopeful in the midst of challenging and tumultuous political times, by Suzette Brooks Masters, Democracy Funders Network.
“As a new year dawns, it’s hard not to feel anxiety about what’s coming next, especially when it comes to American democracy. At times like these, one can feel the urge to check out or hunker down, to turn inward. But it’s important to remember that all this flux and tumult can create important openings for transformation. How we act and what visions for the future we advance when those openings occur are critical.”
