Good to hear from you about strengthening the global movement of movements (MoM). I just sent you an invitation to join a Zoom meeting tomorrow where the five of us from ICA who participated in the global MoM call last Tuesday will discuss future implications.
If anyone else is interested in this, please let me know. </div>

<div>One piece of our global reality is the creativity of the journey of each ICA over the past 30 years. So some ICA’s have staff as the main agents of change others are the base of a community of individuals and associated organizations and the ICA global
community also has active colleagues, passionate supporters and related entities and individuals. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Each has its own journey and present state, also the definition of “We"and the understanding of the context can be very different. However in every case a sense of mission is still present and an understanding of service is being played out.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>One part of the Social Research role I envision is the opportunity to remember the past, discern the reality and invite new service into the future.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The MoM sounds like an excellent creative commons to which many of our overlapping communities might learn with, share with and grow in service. I would like to know more.</div>

After this week's ICA Social Research Center sojourn, I wanted to express the following gratitudes: gratitude to the core team and to all of us who participated; gratitude for our turning from documenting our past service to responding to the needs of the present
and future; gratitude for our commitment to serving the suffering world; gratitude for letting go of self-congratulations and turning to compassion and service; and gratitude for living our stance of working "on behalf of" the least, the lost, and the last.</div>

I was touched by the Andrew's statement about there being<i><span> </span>three</i><span> </span>ICA USA staff. You and I, however, constitute a servant-force of, let's say, 100 colleagues,
who are former staff, and mostly "retired." We have the time, energy, skills, and commitment to offer ICA methods and models to individuals, organizations, movements, and the movement of movements (MoM) to mitigate climate chaos, regenerate ecosystems, promote
green energy, help alleviate the suffering of the viral pandemic, defeat rising fascism, promote participatory governance, say no to misogyny, racism, and xenophobia, promote human rights, social justice and universal healthcare and education, and promote
peace and nonviolence. </div>

You and I know many individuals and groups that need ICA methods and models. You and I can promote, write and speak about, and offer these methods and models where they are needed. I see of us each doing that as long as we have the energy to do so, as we continue
to learn new insights, methods and models from others. </div>

I think that it would motivate each of us to answer the following questions (which you will recognize): What are your greatest hopes for people and planet in 2030? What are the current obstacles and forces that could block that vision? What actions are needed
to deal with those blocks and move toward that vision? And which ICA and other methods and models are needed to do those actions? </div>
