What Impedes Your Positive Civic Actions?
Since Trump waged his campaign heavily on the promise of a better economy, let’s focus there today, an issue that concerns people of all political inclinations, a common concern, beyond the unfortunate culture wars ripping us apart.
Are you better off this month than you were last April? Or last November? …Dr. Dolly reflects on the historical rise of Nazism and draws parallels to current societal shifts, questioning what prevents individuals from taking civic action against perceived oppression.
