---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Smart CSOs Lab <michael(a)smart-csos.org> Date: Wed, Jul 3, 2019 at 4:43 PM Subject: New book: Switching off the autopilot To: Michel <michel(a)p2pfoundation.net> View this email in your browser <https://mailchi.mp/dcd0685ed3de/switching-off-the-autopilot?e=331c725150> [image: Smart CSOs logo] <https://smart-csos.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=5cf566bc194b8a0b681cee…> July 2019 Dear Michel, I’m excited to announce the launch of my new book, *Switching off the autopilot: An evolutionary toolbox for the Great Transition*. This book is about the ecological crisis that threatens to collapse our entire civilisation. It is about the crisis of liberal democracy unfolding before our eyes. And it is about a new approach that aims to tackle both crises. [image: front cover of Switching off the autopilot] <https://smart-csos.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=5cf566bc194b8a0b681cee…>Over the last few years, campaigns and activist approaches to tackling systemic problems have increasingly looked at the world through a lens of identity, power and privilege. I’m deeply concerned that this approach is highly divisive and counterproductive. Instead of bringing us closer to tackling our most pressing issues, like climate change, they contribute to further political polarisation and increase the risk of authoritarian regimes. The current political climate might set us back many years from tackling the ecological crisis, years we don’t have. It might also reverse some of the enormous social progress made in recent years instead of contributing to a fairer world. I haven’t written this book with the hope that everybody would agree with the ideas I set out. In fact, I have written it because over the last few years I have felt that the strategy discussions about the Great Transition I have been involved in have too often operated within an ideological echo chamber, where arguments and evidence are selected to justify the pre-existing intuitions. I hope to provide an impulse towards bursting the ideological bubble. The book argues that civil society leaders and funders have a lot to gain from adopting an evolutionary worldview. Evolutionary science teaches us how we got to where we are now, and how understanding our gene-culture co-evolutionary heritage will make it much easier to switch off our destructive deep-seated tendency for tribalism and design a good society. We have to shift all our attention to tackling the hard problem of evolution: figuring out how to adapt to the new conditions on Earth much faster than humanity has ever done or has had to do.

Fwd: Thinking Globally, Acting Locally? (GTN Discussion)
by Michel Bauwens 03 Jul '19

03 Jul '19

---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Great Transition Network <gtnetwork(a)greattransition.org> Date: Tue, Jul 2, 2019 at 9:12 PM Subject: Thinking Globally, Acting Locally? (GTN Discussion) To: <michelsub2004(a)gmail.com> >From Brian Tokar [briant(a)pshift.com] ---------------------------------------------------------- *[Moderator's Note: This follows from Paul's note from yesterday. Brian will be kicking the discussion off for us. I look forward to your contributions. -- JC] * Comment for GTN Forum * Think Globally, Act Locally?* Brian Tokar 7/1/2019 *The Promise and Pitfalls of Localism * Today we are seeing an inspiring resurgence of progressive action at the local level, even as reactionary nationalist movements in Europe and beyond seek to position themselves as the true voices of a renewed localism. What are the prospects for such locally centered political engagement in a time of rising political polarization and conflict? How can local action help advance personal liberation and social justice? More broadly, how can it further our goals for global transformation? The current upsurge of local action by both progressives and radical municipalists is fueled by several complementary impulses. First, the limitations of national politics and contemporary international institutions have caused growing frustration. The stranglehold of corporate influences—from fossil fuel interests to the financial sector—over national and transnational institutions often overwhelms resistance, whether the focus is on the US government, the European Union, or comparable structures around the world. For people seeking meaningful action on the global climate crisis, rising economic inequality, or various immediate threats to people’s health and well-being, local measures often allow the most attainable initial steps toward the broader transformations we seek. Frustration with the limitations of national or transnational politics can thus be channeled toward a pragmatic pursuit of attainable steps toward justice and community renewal. Other motivating factors are more aspirational in nature. The aim to bring important decisions closer to home reflects a desire for engagement over anonymity, right relationship over polarizing conflict, and hope for a meaningful role in decisions that affect our lives. The appeal of “democracy begins at home” has deep historic roots, including the participatory Town Meeting structures that shaped the colonial uprising against British rule in late eighteenth-century North America. While important choices about social, environmental, and technological policies appear inherently global in character, the principle of subsidiarity—enshrined in EU legal codes among others—speaks to the widespread desire for decision-making as close to the local level as possible. At their best, local solutions to social and environmental problems may be more amenable to an open and accessible democratic process, and their implementation can remain more accountable to those most affected by the outcomes. Local measures can help build closer relationships among neighbors and strengthen the capacity for self-reliance in a time of increasingly extreme climate-related disruptions. Local actions enable us to see that the ruling institutions that often dominate our lives may be far less essential than people tend to believe, and that we can effectively challenge regressive policies at the national and supranational levels that favor powerful outside interests. At the same time, local initiatives often raise the question of how to spark a broader social transformation that can offer a systemic change greater than the sum of its dispersed local expressions. Indeed, the rise of regressive, nostalgic, and profoundly reactionary forms of populism around the world has served to illuminate the limitations of a politics of localism for its own sake. Some years prior to initiating the national campaign for “Brexit,”the reactionary UK Independence Party proclaimed that “real decision-making should be given to local communities”—only thinly veiling an agenda to marginalize immigrants and oppose renewable energy, and even ban discussions of climate change in local schools. Racist organizations in the US South have long hidden behind localist rhetoric, as do the militia movement and other far right neo-populist formations. Suburbanites in Detroit, as well as in southern US cities, have established new local jurisdictions to exclude people of color from decision-making and create newly segregated school districts. Wealthy homeowners in major California cities have bankrolled efforts to halt an increase in the housing supply through a statewide easing of zoning rules. In the lead-up to the recent European Parliament elections, right-populist formations came together in a new political grouping that called itself “Freedom and Direct Democracy,” directly co-opting some of the most advanced language of the emerging new radical municipalism. How then can we steer clear of such cooptation—and best reap the benefits of the liberatory potential of local action? *Theories of Transformation* >From Kurdish militants in Syria and Turkey to dynamic young organizers in North America, many current activists cite social ecology as a central underlying inspiration for their political outlook. Social ecology offers a unique synthesis of utopian social criticism, historical and anthropological investigation, dialectical philosophy, and political strategy. The foundational texts of social ecology were written by the Vermont-based social theorist Murray Bookchin between the 1970s and 1990s. Among the first thinkers in the West to identify the growth imperative of capitalism as a fundamental threat to the integrity of living ecosystems, Bookchin consistently argued that social and ecological concerns are fundamentally inseparable. He described his distinct approach to political strategy as libertarian (or confederal) municipalism, and sometimes as communalism, highlighting the roots of key ideas in the legacy of the Paris Commune of 1871. Bookchin argued for liberated cities, towns, and neighborhoods, governed by open popular assemblies, which actively confederate in order to challenge parochialism, encourage interdependence, and build a genuine counterpower to dominant institutions. [1] Social ecologists also believe that the limits of local action and the problems of parochialism and reactionary nationalism can be overcome through confederations of cities, towns, and neighborhoods that join to advance a broad liberatory agenda. While institutions of capitalism and the nation-state often tend to heighten social stratification and exploit divisions among people, social ecologists insist that the lived experience of direct democracy can foster expression of a general social interest that strengthens human solidarity and advances a transformative social and ecological agenda. “It is from the municipality,” Bookchin wrote, “that people can reconstitute themselves from isolated monads into a creative body politic and create an existentially vital…civic life that has institutional form as well as civic content: the block committees, assemblies, neighborhood organizations, cooperatives, citizens’ action groups, and public arenas for discourse that go beyond such episodic acts as demonstrations and retain a lived as well as organized community.” [2] The act of civic engagement through face-to-face deliberative structures can help transcend divisions and build solidarity. Still, physical decentralization *per se* cannot guarantee progressive social transformation in the absence of an inclusive civic ethics, participatory self-governance, and a holistic ecological outlook. For social ecologists, confederation and internal education through praxis offer essential counterpoints to localist tendencies toward provincialism and isolation. Organizers in urban neighborhoods can aim to rewrite city charters and restructure municipal governance as a confederation of directly democratic neighborhood assemblies. Then, like-minded neighborhoods, cities, and regions can continue to confederate at wider geographic levels to realize common projects, better satisfy essential needs, and ultimately create a viable counterpower to today’s ruling institutions. Another core principle of today’s municipal movements is horizontalism, a political practice that aims to equalize decision-making across various sectors of society. The term (horizontalidad in Spanish) was first articulated during the Argentine uprising in response to the economic collapse of 2001, but has numerous historical antecedents. Prefigurative practices aimed toward dissolving social hierarchies and elevating popular voices have emerged in recent decades during periods of heightened social contestation on nearly every continent. Further clues to an expansive conceptual framework for “glocalism”may be found in the legacy of bioregionalism. Peaking in popularity during the 1980s and early 1990s, this movement helped ecologically minded activists imagine how to transform governance so as to transcend the limits of state and national boundaries and move toward a more Earth-centered vision. Bioregionalism’s ideas of governance based on watersheds rather than political boundaries have significantly shaped contemporary practice in such domains as regional planning and water resource management. Bioregionalists have also embraced a movement-of-movements approach, where advocates for various spheres of social and ecological praxis formed committees to draft proposals at biennial continental congresses, which then came before the committee of the whole for final amendment and adoption. Finally, in an era of increasing nationalism, it is essential to heed the warnings of prominent anthropologist Arturo Escobar. At the apex of the worldwide global justice/alter-globalization movements in the early 2000s, Escobar embraced the “defense of constructions of place” by social movements that seek to advance ecological democracy, while firmly rejecting the attitudes of essentialism, nostalgia and exclusion that can tend to link “boundary making around places… to reactionary politics.” [3] *Scaling Sideways and Up* Dynamic, people-powered progressive grassroots movements are on the rise in many parts of the world. Some confront corporate-driven threats to people’s health and livelihoods, such as the expanding pace of fossil fuel production due to fracking and other new technologies. Indigenous and other land-based communities in the Global South actively resist the extraction of timber and mineral resources, as well as misguided climate mitigation measures, such as carbon sequestration schemes that substitute distant bureaucratic management of forests for traditional commons regimes. In France, rural workers have been in open revolt against tax policies that favor the rich, filling the streets to denounce the extreme isolation of national elites. An Irish citizens’ assembly, with delegates chosen at random, launched the national referendum that ultimately voted down a long-standing constitutional ban on abortions. Here in the US, towns in some of the most conservative pockets of Pennsylvania and other states have organized to assert community rights over corporate rights, and successfully fought off expansion plans by polluting industries. We see increasingly bold public expressions of human compassion, through the creation of sanctuaries and “cities of refuge” to protect threatened immigrants, offer direct aid, and sometimes grant local citizenship rights in defiance of exclusionary national policies. Food and farm activists are reinvigorating urban farming and regional food systems around the world, demanding food sovereignty, and advancing local alternatives that save energy and water, improve public health, empower marginalized communities, and challenge the hegemony of global agribusiness. Visionary planners, designers, and on-the-ground activists are working to reshape their cities to reduce commuting and minimize energy use. An international alliance of trade union representatives has launched a worldwide campaign to democratize energy systems under increasing public ownership, and a youth-initiated rebellion against rising transit fares in Sweden and other Scandinavian countries helped spark a global network advocating free public transportation, among countless other recent examples. [4] More than 2,500 cities from Oslo to Sydney have submitted plans to the United Nations to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions, frequently in defiance of their national governments’ far more cautious proposals; well over 9,000 municipalities have joined a Global Covenant of Mayors to reinforce their commitments to climate action. Some of these plans are rather modest, drawing upon cities’ existing jurisdiction over matters such as zoning, building codes, and local infrastructure, but some cities are also moving to limit automobile use, expand public transportation, and accelerate the transition to renewable energy. Furthermore,we are seeing the emergence of a grassroots “municipalist” movement that directly challenges national centers of power and raises the potential for a more thoroughly transformed political order. In cities as different as Barcelona in Spain, and Jackson in Mississippi, municipal movements rooted in well-organized neighborhoods have elected radical mayors and city councilors with a mandate to defend the rights of tenants, strengthen the public sector of the economy, and implement transformative approaches to community development. In Jackson, an organization known as Cooperation Jackson established neighborhood assemblies and successfully ran candidates for office on a program emphasizing human rights, local democracy, and neighborhood-based economic and ecological renewal. The project is rooted in the historic legacy of Black Liberation struggles and celebrates their inspiration by movements throughout the Global South. In the heart of the war-torn Middle East, Kurdish activists along the border between Syria and Turkey have adopted a unique model of municipal governance, with a focus on equity for women and new models of ecological reconstruction. [5] A youthful network known as Symbiosis now involves hundreds of individuals and dozens of affiliated local groups. The network’s founders have facilitated several major North American gatherings on municipal politics over the past two years, and the group is now planning a congress of directly democratic municipal movements. As Symbiosis’s founders explain, “[W]e can’t actually make the necessarily large-scale changes without taking control over the places where we live and creating the alternatives necessary for a new system.” [6] Progressive, locally rooted movements have long proven their ability to influence wider social and political trends, whether by force of example, concerted political pressure, or active resistance to centralized power. The passage of landmark national environmental legislation in the US in the early 1970s during the Republican administration of Richard Nixon was in part a response to the proliferation of grassroots mobilizations leading to local anti-pollution measures and lawsuits during the 1960s, with corporate interests ultimately choosing uniform national regulations over a patchwork of increasingly restrictive local measures. [7] Local measures to address inequality, such as campaigns to raise the hourly minimum wage to $15, have spread across the US, as have countless other innovative policies whose feasibility has first been demonstrated at the local level. In other cases, a heightened conflict between local values and centralized power structures brings the potential for lasting change. The idea of confederated democratic municipalities actively rebelling against centralized authorities to create revolutionary institutions of dual power is central to social ecology’s communalist political strategy and to the political outlooks of several contemporary municipalist movements. It seems clear that local action is often the best remedy for the failings and excesses of the present system, and a proven approach to catalyzing wider changes. But what about problems that are inherently global in nature? How can locally based movements provide the underpinning for the broader global transformations we seek? Can we envision networks of locally rooted continental and perhaps global structures that reflect a comprehensive vision of interdependent communities and simultaneously embody a holistic, cosmopolitan outlook and a truly humanistic general interest? How can confederations of municipally based movements begin to address the needs to redistribute wealth, transform economic systems, or manage the increasingly climate-driven crisis of migration around the world? Can they, as Bookchin insisted, tackle the fundamental question of where and with whom political power resides? We need to strengthen forms of coordination that emerge from the municipal context to support a growing network for change in synchrony with a global resurgence of solidarity, democracy, and justice. The recent upsurge of Green politics across Europe offers one source of hope, but many long-time Green activists are aware of how an earlier generation of Green Party functionaries in many countries succumbed to narrow electoral ambitions at the expense of the organic links to communities and social movements pointing to a more systemic alternative. [8] Confederations of democratic communities and regions need to develop new continental and global institutions that are no longer plagued by the global power politics of the UN, the narrow commercial imperatives of the WTO, nor the technocratic managerialism of the EU. Through creative experimentation, visionary forms of action, and life-affirming political struggle, we can discover ways to resist the tides of reaction and climate-driven collapse, and point the way toward a different world. Today’s increasingly severe climate disruptions are beginning to universalize the sense of precariousness long experienced by the earth’s most vulnerable peoples. If current trends continue, we face a grim future of ever-diminishing returns and a capitalist race to the bottom, with increasingly extreme deprivation on a global scale. But there is a better path. The odds may be diminishing with each passing year of climate inaction, but it is more necessary than ever to sustain a hope that humanity can unite to reject authoritarian false solutions to the climate crisis and social inequities, embrace the potential for an enhanced quality of life beyond fossil-fueled capitalism, and begin to realize the dream of a liberated and truly interdependent global community of communities.

Fwd: Because of Facebook & Google, we need you more than ever
by Michel Bauwens 02 Jul '19

---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Neal Gorenflo <neal(a)shareable.net> Date: Tue, Jul 2, 2019 at 3:04 AM Subject: Because of Facebook & Google, we need you more than ever To: Michael Bouwens <michelsub2004(a)gmail.com> <https://www.sharingcities.net/r?u=PhRuiz4x_CuV-VTdUGsue13cPnOdv3cMWgT-yA4Gp…> Dear Michael, After 10 years as a nonprofit, Shareable’s mission to empower people to share is as important as ever -- if not more so. Increasingly, international organizations like the United Nations and C40 recognize that consumption patterns, not just vehicle and building emissions, are a major contributor to climate change in cities and that sharing can dramatically reduce consumption. At the same time, it’s become a lot harder for Shareable to reach the public online with our news reporting on sharing solutions. Over the last few years, Google and Facebook, who now control over 70% of all web traffic, made changes that have significantly reduced the reach of countless websites, but perhaps especially independent media outlets like Shareable. *If you believe independent voices like Shareable matter, please make a donation today.* <https://www.sharingcities.net/r?u=jEwrsdSML4cvgLsZN8iFIHb47tWCnJwSMpAKE4sK3…> In Facebook’s case, they simply blocked access to around 90% of all page owner’s fans including Shareable’s -- except if you pay for access. Google has made many changes including ones that favor mainstream news sites. As a result, scores of independent news sites like Shareable have been hurt. Alternet, also an independent news nonprofit, sees these changes as a form of censorship. I agree. Shareable hasn’t sat idly by in the wake of these changes. We’ve adapted by increasing the quality of our solutions journalism, hiring more experienced journalists and editors, and transitioning our site to Wordpress, which has excellent search engine optimization features. Still, we can’t depend 100% on the web anymore. It’s clearly being enclosed by Facebook and Google, so Shareable is using other mediums to further our mission including our e-newsletter, hosting more events, and starting a new podcast, “The Response”, which is also syndicated to over 140 radio stations across the US, Canada, UK, and Australia. We’re also premiering our first documentary based on “The Response” later this month in Oakland, California. This new strategy is starting to bear fruit, but the stark reality is that it’s a lot more expensive than web publishing. *That’s why the support of our readers is more important than ever. If you believe in independent voices, if you believe in news about solutions, if you believe in the power of sharing -- then please consider making a donation to Shareable today.* <https://www.sharingcities.net/r?u=jEwrsdSML4cvgLsZN8iFIHb47tWCnJwSMpAKE4sK3…> Any amount is important to us because it says you stand with us. We believe the world needs an organization like Shareable that relentlessly pushes sharing forward. If you agree, please put your shoulder to the wheel with us by making a donation today. Thank you for all the good you do in the world, Neal Gorenflo P.S. In order to fund our work over the next 6 months, *we need 100 new sustaining donors to commit to monthly support <https://www.sharingcities.net/r?u=jEwrsdSML4cvgLsZN8iFIHb47tWCnJwSMpAKE4sK3…>*.

Fwd: June 2019: European elections, the platform economy and social law, the cost of living in the EU, ETUI job vacancies
by Michel Bauwens 01 Jul '19

worthwhile analysis of the results of the European elections, and especially the West-East split ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Mariya Nikolova <mnikolova(a)etui.org> Date: Mon, Jul 1, 2019 at 9:35 AM Subject: June 2019: European elections, the platform economy and social law, the cost of living in the EU, ETUI job vacancies To: <michel(a)p2pfoundation.net> Unsubscribe <https://crm.etui.org/civicrm/mailing/unsubscribe?reset=1&jid=1964&qid=64404…> *View in your browser <https://crm.etui.org/civicrm/mailing/view?reset=1&id=355> * *Editorial* *Mapping the results of the EU election: some preliminary reflections on the social challenges* The results of the recent European elections give us a very complex picture at the EU and national level. The common interpretation is that there was a lower than expected rise of the extreme right and populist parties in Europe and that the green and liberal parties have been the winners. This is true for the Western part of the EU, but in Eastern and Central Europe the situation is different. In these countries, the Greens get only 3 seats (on a total of almost 200) and so does the radical left (3 seats too). The Socialists & Democrats in Central and Eastern Europe, for their part, have stabilized their share of the vote. Altogether the left counts for 25 % of the vote in that region. Looking more closely at the national level, it is very difficult to make any generalization. Look at the situation in Poland and Spain, for example. The cleavage theory of Rokkan and Lipset from 1967 can be useful here in trying to put some order and understand the picture by analyzing emerging cleavages. Of the 3 traditional cleavages - state vs church, centre vs periphery, and owner/capital vs worker - the last one was the most influential for the trade union movement. Even if a redefinition of the capital/workers cleavage would be possible, with more attention for the ecological question, it would nevertheless be helpful to add 2 additional (new) cleavages to the picture. A first new cleavage is the opposition between open – closed society. It was clearly part of this election debate. It can be illustrated by the tensions between the renamed Renew Europe Group and the Identity and Democracy Group. Although intuitively we would take for granted that both are opposed to social policies, this does not quite seem to be the case. We can observe that some nationalistic parties propagate social messages. At the same time, Emmanuel Macron, who has decided to join with his political movement the Renew Europe Group in the European Parliament, has a socially inspired discourse, although only at EU level (doing the contrary at national level). If this cleavage is becoming dominant, it could be very challenging for the trade unions. A second cleavage is the green, post-materialist versus productivist political positioning, which has gained more popularity recently. For the proponents of post-materialist values, the environmental crisis imposes a completely new paradigm. It challenges the productivist paradigm which centers on the concept of growth. Again, the social orientation of the post-materalist paradigm is not straightforward. It ranges from very socially sensitive to more liberal. The challenge here will be to have an in-depth reflection about what it means concretely for trade unions to operate in this new paradigm. If post-materialism takes the lead, what does this mean for pensions and wages? What could be a trade union agenda in this context? In any case, it is only the start of very complex, challenging and strategic debates for the future. *Philippe Pochet, General director ETUI* *Publications* *The platform economy and social law: Key issues in comparative perspective * This Working Paper brings together two parallel but complementary approaches to the impact of the platform economy on working conditions and social law. *Aussi disponible en français* Read more <https://crm.etui.org/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=53048&qid=6…> *The cost of living in the EU: how much do you need?* This policy brief details the necessary amounts for dignified living according to official EU figures and the perceptions of Europeans, as well as the actual disposable income of families in the lower part of the income distribution across EU member states.

Fwd: Prejudice against Jews Rises in 2019

---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Tikkun & the Network of Spiritual Progressives <miriam(a)tikkun.org> Date: Sun, Jun 30, 2019 at 3:01 PM Subject: Prejudice against Jews Rises in 2019 To: Michel Bauwens <michelsub2004(a)gmail.com> Prejudice against Jews Rises in 2019 <https://default.salsalabs.org/T823496fe-c6cb-4565-a6a8-27404694c241/c02a818…> *The "Mother of All Rallies" event in support of Donald Trump, Sept 2017. Image courtesy of kelly bell photography/Flickr.* *Editor's note: this information is shared by PRRI Public Religion Research Institute. We at *Tikkun* are also concerned with the rise in discrimination across the various demeaned elements in American society, with 30% of Americans saying that small businesses should be able to refuse services to gays and lesbians. We highlight the information about Jews because, while there is a high level of recognition among liberals and progressives about the discrimination against gays and lesbians, many liberals and progressives deny that Jews are another such demeaned group, and many younger Jews themselves hold that position and think that it is inappropriate for social change activists to give focus to this issue. It is highly likely that the rise of prejudice across the board toward previously demeaned groups can be attributed to the atmosphere of violence and hate stimulated by the Trump administration and the white nationalist movement to which it has given strong signs of support, and which currently manifests in the vicious attempt to demonize asylum seekers at our borders while escalating attempts to expel "undocumented" refugees living in the U.S. —Rabbi Michael Lerner, Editor, *Tikkun The proportion of Americans who say small businesses should be able to refuse to serve Jews on religious grounds is up seven percentage points (19% in 2019 vs. 12% in 2014). Republicans (24%) are more likely than independents (16%) and Democrats (17%) to say small businesses should be allowed to refuse service to Jews. Support is up from 2014, when only 16% of Republicans and 9% of Democrats supported this sort of service refusal. Men are also more likely than women to say small business owners should be allowed to refuse service to Jews (22% vs. 16%). Support for all of these refusals is up for both men and women, with only around one in ten each for men and women endorsing these types of religiously based service refusals in 2014. Though there are no substantial differences by age in support for religiously based service refusals that target Jews, support has increased across all age groups since 2014. Support for these religiously based service refusals has also increased among most major religious groups since 2014. Support for refusing Jews service based on the religion of the person seeking services has roughly doubled among white evangelical Protestants (up to 24% from 12% in 2014), white mainline Protestants (up to 26% from 11%), and Catholics (up to 20% from 10%), while the religiously unaffiliated (11% vs. 11%) and nonwhite Protestants (19% vs. 14%) have remained mostly stable in their attitudes on these issues. *Click below to share this article on the platform of your choice!* * <https://default.salsalabs.org/Tbf71110a-6376-48e3-b777-861556a7c2fb/c02a818…> <https://default.salsalabs.org/T9841bc0b-0a16-47ca-806a-586c59121ca5/c02a818…>* Contact Us *Tikkun* & the Network of Spiritual Progressives 2342 Shattuck Ave #1200 Berkeley, California 94704 (510) 644-1200 magazine(a)tikkun.org Unsubscribe <https://tikkun.salsalabs.org/manage-your-subscription?eId=a0df97b0-709d-4bc…> -- P2P Foundation: http://p2pfoundation.net - http://blog.p2pfoundation.net Connect: http://p2pfoundation.ning.com; Discuss: http://lists.ourproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/p2p-foundation Updates: http://del.icio.us/mbauwens; http://friendfeed.com/mbauwens; http://twitter.com/mbauwens; http://www.facebook.com/mbauwens
