Pro-empathy freedom voters can amplify their efforts with texting RESIST to 504-09 and follow the instructions to contact your elected officials and help replace the politics of cruelty with care.
Welcome back to Pro-Empathy Freedom Voters are the Solution subscribers. Our 1st Trimester Zoom Forums begin the January 8th. Enroll here. We will apply the empathy framing lessons we learn in the following two books: George Lakoff and Elisabeth Wehling’s bestselling book Your Brain’s Politics: How the Science of Mind Explains the Political Divide and David Fenton’s memoir The Activist’s Media Handbook. Also, consider becoming a co-proposer of the Empathy Surplus Network USA’s first model legislation for state legislators at the Ohio H.E.L.P. Bill link.
Here’s my latest resistbot to the President, Senators, and Congressman
Empathy is the soul of democracy. Cruelty is the soul of autocracy. The foreign policy of true democracies protects innocent civilians. The USA should not be helping Israel and Russia kill innocent civilians. The Palestinian civilian death toll has reached 30,000! It’s criminal.
Wouldn’t it be better to increase funding for the war in Ukraine? Wouldn’t it be better to reframe our help in the Middle East around an immediate cease-fire, humanitarian aid, ending the Israeli occupation of Gaza and the West Bank, and finding a two-state solution?
It’s time to govern with empathy for and responsibility for human rights. Protecting and empowering strong, diverse communities of nurturing families here and abroad that care for one another is the American ideal. It’s time we stand up for American values of care.
