ISSUE NO. 623
WE'RE KEEPING IT SHORT...
 

so you - and we - can focus on today's most important task.

Each week we talk about the steps you can take to make a better world for you and the community at large. These steps are small enough that they are possible, but when done in tandem with others they can have a profound impact. Each individual one is not meant to be the only way that you contribute, but engaging in individual actions are important. 

If you are eligible to vote in the US this is probably hundredth (thousandth? millionth?) reminder that you are getting to cast your ballot today (if you did not do so already).

There is so much more work to do, but today that is the work. Do not skip it. And do not stop there. 


To our civic duty,
