Is anyone interested in reviving this group? Pro & Con is interesting, but perhaps not the right forum for talking about personal actions.

I live in a coal state that went for Trump and work in a town with a population of 3252. I was heartened to overhear a political discussion in a store aisle between two strangers today, both united against the white nationalists that have been in the news this week.

In the larger town where I live, the local Climate Action group is sponsoring a the video "Truth Tellers" by Chris Hedges, advocating changes from today's capitalist model. I haven't read Hedges, but I like what I've read by Naomi Klein. I'd like to hear specifics.

I've also got ties to Kentucky.
Lexington may be the next target of the alt-right, and if so, I'll be right there in response.

I just finished reading The Liberal Hour by G Calvin Mackenzie. While it's ten years old, two contemporary themes recommend it for today: Viet Nam and justice for the black man.
