"In the midst of the meltdown, people throughout the U.S. were joining with their neighbors to weather the economic crisis. Last winter, more than 50 Common Security Clubs formed in communities around the country: a mini-movement of people coming together in religious congregations, community centers, and union halls to help each other understand and cope with the the collapsing economy. The clubs soon moved past the goal of simply weathering the crisis and began to work toward reforms—both nationally and in their communities—that would prevent a repeat of the devastation."I hope that such groups can move beyond trying to reform the system to designing a sustainable, people oriented system.
in the time remaining, to help us understand how the man-made system of capitalism will lead to the extinction of our human species, and so many others.
