The Amazon and Arctic ablaze. Xenophobic and racist rhetoric becoming mainstream. Our leaders seemingly helpless or unwilling to respond. Does it feel to you like our society is unraveling? That may be the case, but it doesn't mean that all is lost. On the contrary, theory of change suggests this is exactly the time when new and radical ideas have an outsize impact. I invite you to read an article I wrote last week explaining why this is so: "As Society Unravels, the Future Is Up for Grabs. <https://jeremylent.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=ca3f163a7a35137b9c600dcba&id=b2778c041e&e=706ecc7286> " As our political leaders fail, grassroots leadership becomes even more important. That means you and me. On *Friday, September 20*, millions of people around the world will take part in a Global Climate Strike <https://jeremylent.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=ca3f163a7a35137b9c600dcba&id=246718a28f&e=706ecc7286>, which may be one of the biggest coordinated grassroots demonstrations in history. I urge you to join in and add your voice to the call for transforming our society's destructive ways. I've come to believe that the most promising alternative path for our future is an *Ecological Civilization*: a shift in the underlying foundation of our civilization from wealth accumulation to one that is life-affirming. if you live in the SF Bay Area, please join me in an Ecological Civilization Salon <https://jeremylent.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=ca3f163a7a35137b9c600dcba&id=074043fa60&e=706ecc7286> at *Civana House *in San Francisco, on *October 3*.
