New Opportunities to Support Democracy and Social Justice
Make a difference today

Having just watched the formal transition to a new presidential administration, we find ourselves at a notable moment in the life of our nation. Since the election in November I have been anticipating this moment with great concern.
My belief is that no matter what is happening around us that causes us concern, we are always able to take action that aligns with our values and principles.
This moment has motivated me to find ways to have a positive impact.
I am glad to share two opportunities for you to join me if you, too, want to live in a nation where democracy thrives.
1. Become a Creator of Change
I have created a page on my website called Creators of Change. On that page, you will find links to organizations focused on preserving our democracy in many ways.
Their missions include:
journalistic integrity
aid to immigrants
limiting discrimination
protecting the legal rights of those who will be targeted by the incoming administration
protecting the environment
protecting the rights of women, including reproductive rights, and ensuring healthcare access for people in this country and elsewhere in the world
working to end hunger
I intend for this to be a growing list of organizations, groups and individuals who are committed to making ours a just and caring country, and world, for all.
Please look at what is on the page now, and email me with your suggestions for other meaningful resources that we can choose to support — financially, or by volunteering, or making in-kind donations.
And please spread the world to like-minded people about this page of resources.
Together we can take meaningful action, stay informed and have an impact.
2. Read brilliant writing and do good
Following the outcome of the election, my writing teacher, Leslie Berliant, decided to publish an anthology of select women writers. I am honored to have been asked to be a contributor to the collection of short stories, poems and essays titled Cassandra Speaks — Essays, Stories and Poems by Women Truth-tellers.
This book provided a way for each writer to channel grief, pain and rage, and is filled with moving, powerful work.
And, all proceeds of the sales of the book will be donated to organizations who support abortion access.
Order your copy, and order copies for others who want to read great work and do good, too.
Together we can create a better future.
With love,
What’s coming up!

This book makes my heart skip
This a beautifully designed roadmap on how to do just that, LIVE BIG. After reading it cover to cover, I find myself picking it up and turning to the sections I need when I am looking to be inspired, especially if I feel like I'm playing small. It has been such a game-changer for me that I bought a bunch and give them as gives to help others feel the love! Highly recommended!”
