<div>Hi Folks,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Maybe someone has written about this before and I missed it, but just wanted to check...</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I just finished reading Naomi Klein's 2017 book<i> No Is No Enough, Resisting Trump's Shock Politics and Winning the World We Need,</i> the focus of which is that resistance to the critical issues we face today, while necessary, is not enough and needs to be addressed by a powerful positive holistic vision created and supported by a movement comprised of a broad coalition of diverse grassroots groups. Proposed action cannot be slow incremental change but must take a Leap and move rapidly and comprehensively as happened in prep for WWII and other times of radical transformative change.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Much of her work has been done in Canada with groups that have come together to create "The Leap Manifesto, A Call for a Canada Based on Caring for the Earth and One Another." If you replace "Canada" with "The U.S." in the document, the issues are basically the same.. A sentence toward the end of the document reads:<i> We call for<b> town hall meetings across the country</b> where residents can gather to democratically define what a genuine leap to the next economy means in their communities." </i></div>
<div><i><br>
</i></div>
<div>Hmmm, that sounds familiar...</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>So, just wondering if colleagues in Canada (or the US) are connected with this. Any comments on the book?</div>
