The Reader Magazine

In this Reader Magazine, we make it clear how by investing money in our favorite, close-to-home, locally-owned businesses we can take a huge, inspiring step to change something that probably keeps us up at night- which is the uneven playing field 98% of Americans find themselves on. Carne Ross writes, "We have been silenced by the pervasive belief... that there is no better system, when in fact our democracy has been hijacked by those with the largest profits. We have been intimidated by the bullying repetition that the status quo represents the summit of human progress to date, when in its inequality, its carelessness for our planet and its inhumanity to our fellow humans, in many ways it represents the worst. Our silence permits this outrage to continue, and profound injustice to be perpetuated. And it is this silence that must now be broken, through a thousand acts of construction to build a better world, a thousand acts that declare that there is a much, much better way of organizing and deciding our lives together. Though peaceful, these are revolutionary acts." 1 month ago by Reader Magazine in Local , Newslider. You can follow any responses to this entry through the | RSS feed.
