Electing an irresistible guiding story! On Valentine’s Eve, Caroline welcomes to the Visionary Activist Show, the Joyful Activist, Francis DellaVecchia, that we may honor his splendid article:
“Tired of old white men running things?” – wait for it – tis an unexpected encouraging, liberating narrative that ensues.
Francis has been energetically cahooting with Bernie Sanders since 2015, and has noted Bernie’s demographics dramatically expanding and blooming into “mostly young, more female than male, and a majority people of color. Not surprisingly perhaps, this demographic mix mirrors what the future of this country, and particularly its power structure, is destined to look like.”

And then, finally, a major political campaign, one really built on grassroots support, comes along that says, let’s tackle all of it. Let’s think big. Let’s finally build this world we know is possible. Let’s take on all the corruption and greed that is keeping the vast majority of our people from thriving, and killing our planet. Let’s embrace the needs of all our people, of our planet, and wrap it into one campaign that has its immediate sights on the presidency, but its long-term sights on the fundamental remaking of this cultural landscape. Away from domination, toward compassion. Away from extraction, toward regeneration. Away from corruption, toward inclusion.”
