Always grateful to the volunteers at Adelante Comunidad Conejo – especially today when members of the Thousand Oaks Police Department and their families helped out with pantry prep. Many hands make light work, the proverb goes – and there’s always a need for more hands. Interested in volunteering? Sign up at adelantecomunidadconejo.org. Thank you!

> How are ordinary Americans pledged to Buddhist ethical and spiritual ideals, to respond to the array of interwoven crises we’re likely to face in the years ahead? How can we deal with this bizarre downward dip in the American political experience in ways that best embody the values we cherish, the qualities we discern in the exalted figure of the #bodhisattva

Lion’s RoarIt’s No Time to Be NeutralBhikkhu Bodhi, one of Buddhism’s leading activists and scholars, says there are four steps we need to take to resist Trumpism.

May all beings have happiness and the causes of happiness.
May all beings be free from suffering and the causes of suffering.
May all beings rejoice in the well-being of others.
May all beings live in peace, free from greed and hatred.

sites.libsyn.comNext Comes What: Time to Act — Fighting Ignorance While We Still CanThe dismantling of our government has begun, which means fighting ignorance is critical. All of us are due for some education. Read the post that inspired this episode: Subscribe to Andrea Pitzer’s Degenerate Art newsletter to support Next Comes What:   Do you have a question about a particular Next Comes What? Do you have more of a comment than a question you'd like to send in? Do you have a local or a national success story? Email your thoughts to nextcomeswhat at gmail dot com. You can write it. You might record it. You could even videotape yourself or your actions.  This week's episode takes on what to do in the face of the ongoing lawlessness of the Trump administration. The courts are working to uphold their role; Congress is pretty inert for now. Yet even if both branches of government rise to meet the occasion by pushing back against the current administration, a lot will come down to us, to everyday people around the country. Andrea Pitzer talks about the weird dynamics created by online rage, and exactly how that nuclear-grade energy could be better used elsewhere. She considers the different kinds of ignorance we're facing and strategies for overcoming it. Building community groups and coalitions, understanding peoples' needs and what motivates them, and easing the suffering that's already been unleashed—addressing these harms will also help us get ready to take bigger actions as Americans.

"Project 2025 is not a scattershot effort. Though some Trump appointees lack experience and familiarity with bureaucracies, #Project2025 distinguishes between executive orders, agency regulations, policy guidance, personnel reorganization, and congressional action—fueled by insider knowledge. It is a clear blueprint to dismantle or repurpose federal agencies and alter their priorities..." nonprofitquarterly.org/how-sta #Nonprofits #NGO
