Sorry to hear the host is ending. I would favor a continuation. As a pre ica order member the single ica name doesn't fit but at 87 I'm even more of a dying breed.

Spring greetings! Like our Redlands colleagues (you hear about them from Milan every now and then), Accelerate Neighborhood Climate Action (ANCA) in Denver is on the move. Here's a link to what we're up to at the moment. Have a look (you too can change the future, bend history, right?). https://docs.google.com/document/d/1nKMNZwHgF1iqZSLoAw-5Uat00G9SqJNzILHWXOZ… And I hope you are taking gardening seriously!

Special Request
by Karen Snyder 06 Apr '26

06 Apr '26

Have you seen the new ICA Global Archives website (https://icaglobalarchives.org/) added January 1, 2026? There are several aspects of it that will likely surprise you. It would be special to hear your feedback once you have had a chance to review it. The ICA Archives Team in Chicago has begun adding media photos and slides from the past to the Global Archives website. We have many carousels that hold slides, be we do NOT have a CAROUSEL SLIDE PROJECTOR to be able to view them. If you have a projector that you are willing to donate to the ICA, let me know. Peace and love, Karen Karen Snyder Troxel ICA Global Archives Volunteer Coordinator (312) 758-2551 "Creating the future out of our past"

Karen This looks great, I am trying to creatively think of ways to get more input from the world. Maybe asking the ICAI board for one GA this year to be about sharing and adding to the legacy by any and all.

Sharing with Those Who Care
by Milan Hamilton 21 Mar '26

Linda and I began watching podcasts on climate change implications for our future during the pandemic, beginning with the various "collapse" scenarios (a la Michael Dowd) and then settling on the 360 and counting podcasts of Nate Hagens and his theme of *The Great Simplification (TGS)*. Nate is a former wall street manager of rich people's money, who left to pursue a Phd Natural Resources and taught at the U. of Minnesota a course called Reality 101 focused on energy as the basis of basically everything, from economics to geopolitics. His podcasts have grown to over 116,000 subscribers, and he is know as a top systems thinker in the field of energy as the critical underpinning of our way of life, and how our society is blind to its being depleted. Recently he has turned his attention and focus on "What do we do as we face future breakdowns of supply chains, depletion of sources of energy, etc. His work over the past five or so years on TGS has been an inspiration and basis of our thinking as we try to come to grips with how we take a "bend not break" local action stance with our* Accelerate Neighborhood Climate Action (ANCA Redlands*) initiative in our own community, expressed in the chart I am attaching *Building Blocks of a Climate Resilient Community, *which we have been implementing in Redlands for the past four years. Our three flagship programs, Resilient Living Series, Repair Cafes, and Map Your Neighborhood, capped by a large city-wide annual Earth Day of Climate Action, have gained support of our City, University of Redlands, and many other community-based organizations. I am inserting the 50 minute podcast we watched today, "What to do as the World Falls Apart," for any who may be interested. We think it fits with the kind of "big picture" thinking and model building the ICA was known for. We just wanted to share a little of what we have been doing to keep from giving in to despair in the face of what we are all exposed to as we wake up every day. https://youtu.be/TH8aHQ3Y6Zk?si=YglDjirXQG_MbT4F Mellow Milan Hamilton 80 North Center Street Redlands, CA 92373 Phone: (909) 943-1667 email: mellowmilan2(a)gmail.com

It is with a heavy heart that I share with you that my mom passed away peacefully earlier this week. One of her favorite poems, Summer Day by Mary Oliver, ends with “Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?” She lived her life with purpose, curiosity, kindness and love. She truly cherished her relationship with you, whether you were family or friend (which she really co-mingled anyway). Her passion in life was opening our eyes and hearts to the magic of literature and its impact on our lives. She would share a good book, accompanied by some excellent conversations. And maybe a good glass of wine (except not in the classroom, of course). She loved her family deeply, whether nearby or far away. Time spent with all of them fueled her soul. She had 61 blissful years married to Bruce, the love of her life and her best friend. She was a role model to me in a million ways, giving me big-hearted support every step of my life. And the sparky twinkle in her eye came from the best title of all, MorMor. My dad and I appreciate all of your thoughts, prayers and love over the last months of her life. It has meant the world to us. A memorial service will be scheduled soon. Terri Haymaker, Daughter
