HOPE and SELF-CARE
• Enjoy this week's good news reviewed by Jen Hoffman, our keynote speaker at the INCO summit • Lolly Champion, of Cannon Beach, received this advice: 1. Don't use his name; 2. Remember this is a regime and he's not acting alone; 3. Do not argue with those who support him - it doesn't work; 4. Focus on his policies, not his orange-ness and mental state; 5. Keep your message positive; they want the country to be angry and fearful because this is the soil from which their darkest policies will grow; 6. No more helpless/hopeless talk; 7. Support artists and the arts; 8. Be careful not to spread fake news. Fact check it; 9. Take care of yourselves; 10. Resist! Keep demonstrations peaceful. In the words of John Lennon, "When it gets down to having to use violence, then you are playing the system’s game. The establishment will irritate you - pull your beard, flick your face - to make you fight! Because once they’ve got you violent, then they know how to handle you. The only thing they don’t know how to handle is non-violence and humor."
