Rebecca Solnit
Rebecca Solnit remains one of the people I can read at the moment. There is so much, too much, that is awful and frightening, but Solnit always has a practical and hopeful way of looking at things and galvanising action.
I love that hope can be fury!
Fury that drives us to take a stand, to take action and to show up and let people know that this is not right, is exactly hope. We are trying to say we believe in a better future, we believe that together we should take a stand because who knows where that may lead, and that it may just cause a slight deviation in the projected path that buys us time or improves an outcome or shifts some thinking.
My hope is to march in Austin on April 5th for the national “Hands off …” rally. I expect the signs will be many and varied … mine will likely be “Hands off our libraries!”
