There is much work to be done in education activism and focusing on things that really bring change in small steps is much more productive and useful. The first is to work with libraries to instill the foundation, Civics Departments, which were dismantled in the 1960s. To have music departments and not a civic departments - where all is pulled together for citizens is a travesty. There is also a major problem of libraries getting local governments to send updated information - books pamphlets.... It is important to have the foundation in public meeting rooms. The space for citizens, the space for peace to be talked about is in libraries.

"...if civilization is to survive, we must cultivate the
science of human relationship - the ability of all peoples,
of all kinds, to live together and work together in the same
world, at peace."
--President Franklin D. Roosevelt
