Activist art of shape-shifting. If we advocate for wolves, let's become more like wolves. Advocate for libraries, animate their wealth. Continuing to tease the implications from Caroline's Equinox Address, "Re-dedicating to Dynamic Beauty," www.visionaryactivism.com (portions of which were aired last week -March 24th-, and different excerpts next week April 7th) we are reminded that when things are dire, the vitalizing anti-dote to cultural poison is art, poetry and stories. Libraries, the democratic literary commons , are endangered the world over, the fractal of which is the imminent closure of the libraries in Salinas, California. Caroline is joined by Medea Benjamin and Peter Kwiek, among the organizers of an Historic 24-Hour Emergency Read-In * Save the Salinas Public Libraries * Say Books, Not Bombs; Books, Not Jails * Celebrate Your Love of Books, Saturday, April 2nd, 1:00 pm to Sunday, April 3rd, 1:00 pm, at Cesar Chavez Public Library, Salinas.
