Partners

Will a profound expansion of kinship across all lines of difference, and a commitment to be a part of this extraordinary make-or-break decade, help us to be victorious in this fight of all fights? Will the spectators who watch as the climate crisis (the human-caused climate crisis) defeats all living things one species at a time remain mere spectators, waging side-bets from the bleachers? Capitalizing on the current and coming misery? Pulling more fossil fuels out of the ground to insure the gladiatorial spectacle more rapidly concludes? Or join together to reverse the predicted outcome of this scenario and rewrite the script as it is happening?
 
Will people spectate or spect-act?  (Augusto Boal, Theatre of the Oppressed)
