The current system being used to control us ends in mass suffering for living beings and climate crisis. We need direct every day action to disintegrate this web of suffering and extermination and replace it with one of creation and thriving.

Below is a diagram that shows how everything is connected, if you click on the image you can see the systems of oppression, their mechanism, how they entangle with aspects of our lives, and the end result.

This is not sustainable nor has it ever been, but humanity has and will continue to prevail (as the pages of this almanac give but a brief look into).

There are many ways in which our every day actions matter and contribute to a larger bigger picture. Every decision either supports or disrupts the status quo of our current era.

Whether you occupy one role or various, you’re part of a larger ecosystem of humans that are helping life find its way. We don’t need heroes, our best work is when we’re together.

Believe that you matter, because you do.
