Democracy has been shaky in the US, in many states, even as on a national level we thought we were a democracy. Read Jess Piper's blog and her posts about the state of Missouri being our future

"If you falter in a time of trouble,
how small is your strength!
Rescue those being led away to death;
hold back those staggering toward slaughter." Proverbs 24
Creating a grass roots movement, organizing people. We've forgotten E Pluribus Unum, the strength of union and community

Yesterday I was oriented in the Seattle Giving Garden Network greenhouse at the Fairview Church. We planted a bunch of seeds. The plan is to have 5000 potted up starts in staggered "flushes"(?) to plant out in the giving gardens in our community gardens. We'll be busy from now until September. Although the giving gardens contribute quite a lot of food, and also take in produce donations from the community gardeners, it never really meets the need of our poorer friends.
