One Good Thing: Support Standing Rock

Support the incredibly brave Native American men, women and youth (as well as supporters) protesting the Dakota Access Pipeline. They seek to prevent destruction of precious water, not only where they live, but also for millions who would be affected downstream from an oil spill. You can send a message, sign a petition, make a phone call. You can send money to help pay for blankets, heaters, food, etc. as the winter season has arrived. And of course, you can join them at the site of the protest, or in solidarity from wherever you live.

Fit for the fight and picking up the 100 pound phone

A silver lining these days, for me, is the energizing sense that I can be useful. And I would advocate to my sisters and brothers (all over this land...) that in order to be really sharp and have stamina for a freedom fight, we need to take radically good care of ourselves. Today's Action Ideas: 1. Get fit for the fight! So, if you haven't already, step away from the cacophony for a little while. Put that oxygen mask on yourself so you can help others. For me, this takes the form of eating real food. It's helpful that industrial, junky, soul-sucking "food" reminds me so directly of the President-Elect. Exhibit A: the Cheeto. Florescent orange, fatty, salty, sugary, made from all kinds of Monsanto madness and chock full of lies and illness. Get some sleep, exercise, get fresh air (while you can.) Here are some of my favorite resources on eating and living well: Forks Over Knives Kris Carr Rich Roll 2. Make a phone call to your repres...

Standing up for reality

It's important to stay true to reality in these strange times, and to act in a principled way even when it seems that everyone in authority is not. I have some wonderful role models for doing this - most recently the wonderful Dan Rather. If you haven't already, I highly recommend following his posts on Facebook for some very insightful and courageous writing. The whole carnival of madness we see in daily reports of who Trump has chosen for cabinet posts can be extremely anxiety-provoking. I watched my sister, usually stoic and unflappable, quietly insist that a dinner table conversation not veer onto that topic because it sends her to such a difficult place. It was hard to see someone I consider a real "rock" tear up with such genuine distress. I imagine this is happening for many of us. This sh*tshow reminds me of a conversation I had with a trailblazer on the nutrition front, Dr. Michael Klaper , when I first started eating vegan and also wanted to cut ...
