If you're feeling like the world is getting further from what you want... hold your vision

This video was made in the wake of the SCOTUS decisions that presidents are above the law, that regulatory agencies don't have the power to enforce their regulations, and they made homelessness illegal. This is not moving toward the kind of world I want to see. Sometimes it feels hopeless, and sometimes I want to collapse. But it's important that we recognize the power of the thread we hold in our hands. The one that is made of our vision for how people can be together, the one that is the skills and tools we've cultivated in our family and friend groups for taking good care of ourselves and each other. These threads are important. Someday, maybe soon, but maybe in a time we will not live to see, these threads will be needed for people to weave back together a more beautiful and caring world - the one we've been dreaming of.
It's our job to make sure that someone carries that thread when we're gone. Double down on the realms in which you have power and influence (this is usually family and local community). Spread your gifts, share your knowledge, and create relationships with people with all kinds of skills.
