I’ve been an activist my whole life, and I sometimes still need to remind myself that progress isn’t a straight line. There are always detours and setbacks. Our challenge is to see bumps in the road as opportunities to be better: to grow more empathetic, build deeper coalitions, and draw new lessons. Big dreams emerge alongside the everyday hard work of improving lives and resisting attempts to undermine progress. Dream.Org is all about dreaming of a world beyond prisons, poverty, and pollution, while working each day to produce concrete steps forward for our communities.

Dream JUSTICE

Last month, in an unprecedented and inhumane move, Alabama used nitrogen gas (N2) to execute Kenneth Eugene Smith. The method was untested and never before utilized in the US. All capital punishment is inhumane, but N2 is blatantly cruel as it slowly suffocates its victims. We cannot stay silent. Join us in demanding an end to inhumane executions. We urge governors in states with capital punishment to ban nitrogen gas along with other novel methods and permanently abolish the death penalty once and for all.

Dream GREEN

Two Supreme Court cases could make it harder to protect communities from unsafe air, water, drugs, or food. Previously, agencies like the Environmental Protection Agency were classified as experts in their field and could give testimony to help judges rule on complicated issues. Judges and communities benefit from their specific knowledge in complex court cases. But SCOTUS could rule that these agencies should no longer be classified as experts – limiting an important voice for climate equity and leaving important decisions that affect us all in the hands of judges with no direct experience or technical expertise.
