9. Critical mass plus one

Sounds like green shoots to me, and just in time for Spring. If we frame this group in terms of positive possibilities, community development, and active resistance to disenfranchisement, the conversation might attract existing activist groups to network in. Personal stories that demonstrate applied solutions, reasons for hope and optimism, or simple grace in the face of intolerance...that's want I want to trade in. Good luck with your deadlines. I'll keep a weather-eye out for developments on this front. Cheers.
