Can we really expect adequate funding for programs to clean up our environment and care for people's basic needs as long as the socially essential work of caretaking and cleaning is relegated to women for little or no pay?

If we are serious about breaking cycles of poverty, we have to change this (economy).

What happened in the US is a regression to the domination side of the social scale. Trump claimed that he, as a "strongman," would solve all our problems, and was elected by fanning fear, hate, scapegoating, the debasement of women.

Marshall Rosenberg has a genius for developing and teaching practical skills urgently needed for a less violent, more caring world.

...gender relationships, which are tough for people to deal with, are key to whether a society orients to domination or partnership in all its relations.

We urgently need an integrated progressive political agenda if we are to have foundations for a more equitable, sustainable, caring world.

I pray for a world where we live in partnership rather than domination; where "man's conquest of nature" is recognized as suicidal and sacrilegious; where power is no longer equated with the blade, but with the holy chalice: the ancient symbol of the power to give, nurture, enhance life. And I not only pray, but actively work, for the day when it will be so.
