Caroline, this essay is excellent. So informative, practical and addressing things we MUST care about. Thanks for writing it and including the CTA.

On top of that, we writers can write and refer posts(like yours to others). One thing for certain, this mess will head quickly in the wrong direction unless we do all the things needed including what James Finn recently wrote: involve the neighbors ( not the title, his article title includes the reference to R v. W)

I have to tell you as I read more and more from you and others, my entire body and being is in a state of nervous, nauseous tension.

The more people we fire up on this the better. Necessary.
