Sweet. Still, wondering when funders are going to start connecting the dots on climate and climate justice. Shutting down oil drilling (and fracking operations) are only one piece of the puzzle here. Drawdown is equally critical. And supporting youth and communities to organize around actions to achieve climate justice will help support progress in other areas of traditional interest (public health, jobs, migration, etc.). Look at the growing interest in a Green New Deal. Listen to youth. Respect the power of nature and what the scientists are trying to communicate about the urgency of the issue. Donors need to start paying attention. We don't have time to waste.

Liberty Hill Foundation Pushes for Higher Social Justice Standards
Liberty Hill Foundation's approach over the last forty years has been to ask grassroots community organizing leaders, "How can we help?" Staff would do what communities asked of them, providing general operating support and multiyear funding, when possible, and stepping back so that community o...
Love it! That's the church I attended up to the age of 9.

Personal: Good News
I have known for 11 days now that I will not need to return to chemo. A full body Pet CT Scan taken January 13 shows that everything is stable and oral medication will continue to be my treatment. This is huge news, and I thought I would share for those of you concerned with my health. My streng...
Still, calling the governor's office (916-445-2841) and urging him to sign SB840 seemed like a justifiable use of time. I was only on hold for about 3 minutes.

Living: Me and Elizabeth Edwards
No scandal gossip here. Press coverage of Elizabeth Edwards' metastatic breast cancer has me steamed, and as a sister cancer patient, I want to say something about it. My story with breast cancer parallels Elizabeth's. Elizabeth Edwards and I are both *living* with cancer. We are alive! My first...
No Jozilee, the sewer system has its own separate infrastructure. The LA River is an actual river (and the main reason the pueblo was founded here) and was the city's primary water source until Mulholland's aqueduct started sucking Owens Valley dry and the Corps of Engineers turned a beautiful resource into a means to throw every drop of rainwater AWAY rather than maintain it here for drinking supply. A move that's starting to look pretty retarded as climate change and drought set in and the courts have begun restricting our ability to import water from NorCal and Colo.

Kayaking the L.A. River
From LAist: It is possible to kayak the LA River. Twelve urban explorers did it, travelling from Canoga Park to Long Beach. It's a distance of 51 miles, and they did it in three days. The photos show that the trip is beautiful in many places. Unfortunately, in order to do it legally, you nee...
Haven't read the Butler, but I will now - thanks! Here's a few others off the top of my head for your collapse series: Jean Hegland's Into the Forest, Margaret Atwood's Oryx & Crake, and Russell Hoban's Riddley Walker.
Glad to hear from you again. Your last photo glows with a radiant peace. Sending you light, love & courage daily.

Collapse: The Fiction Series
One of my recurring waking nightmares is the possible collapse of our civilization and the ecosystem that sustains it. I have tried to stop worrying about this possibility since the doctors told me in September that I have metastatic breast cancer. But the angst runs deep. In chemotherapy, begun ...
