The Convergence of Two Pandemics

Many things are and will be written about this time, that I hope will reflect an awakening from this collective “time-out.” We’ve been sent to our proverbial rooms to think long and hard about our life as we knew it — the patterns of human activity on the planet, how we treat one another and the Earth that sustains us, and the governing structures we have created that permit and promote stark and ever-growing social inequities.

Today, I am grappling with grief and the convergence of two pandemics.

Sue Bookchin, ED, and Project Officer Stacey Godsoe recently met with Mark Furey, Minister of Justice, to share ideas about justice system reform to better serve survivors of intimate partner violence.

The future we create every day

The future we create every day

The future ahead of us is the future we create every day, in our workplaces, our families, our encounters with strangers and friends. Our real work is to imagine the life we want to be living and draw it toward us.
