One thing everyone can do is to be selective in one's shopping and not spend money on products of companies that support war crimes and genocide. First and foremost, Israel, the US, Britain and their European lapdogs! Make a stand with your money!
Thanks for these empowering tips, Diane. We can make our lives into a blend of self care and living the world we want when we make the effort. We might still have to work crappy jobs to get the bills paid, but there's lots of other stuff we can do outside of work.
Saying the same kind of things in different words is a good thing I think, Diane. People hear things differently, so the more voices of common sense we have, the better.
The more often people hear the same things spoken by different voices, the sooner words will become deeds and the world begin to move in the right direction. We can only do our best and our utmost!
Thank you, Diane, for all the great suggestions. I might add that if you subscribe to The Revolution Continues (hint, hint!) you'll also see a list of articles, videos and other online info every week that I've read/watched and decided were worth sharing with others. We all do need to share information with each other, share insights, and have civil conversations so we can learn what's happening in the world and increase our own self-awareness and critical thinking skills. Power to the people!

These tips are much the same as what you've been writing, Diana. The difference is only in the style.

So true, Diane. Hopefully words will become deeds more and more often.
