We support Marianne Williamson in her campaign for the Democratic nomination for President. We feel that Marianne represents something bigger than her campaign. She will be the face of a movement that lasts longer than her campaign, and with luck even her presidency. Love should be the guiding force behind politics. With it comes justice, inclusion, compassion, and vision. If those attributes are unfettered by duties to enrich secret or overt donors, politics can work for the greatest number of people, not just billionaires. This is the sentiment that civilization itself needs to embrace if we are to make it to the 22nd century. Climate challenges, resource scarcity, climate-induced migration, and the wars that these things may bring need to be approached from a perspective beyond capitalism. The brand of capitalism will cripple the human race. When America’s politics are dominated by justice and compassion, our form of capitalism can be modified so that huge corporations act as partners of society, working towards the best interests of us all, not just padding the bottom line for the next quarter. My hope is that Nov. 6, 2020 will be seen by future generations as our , when we broke the downward cycle inflicted by those willing to to retain power, even if the cost is diminishing much of her greatness.
