The bright orange forearm and bicep of a vaguely human body rests on a blue tile table, while holding a wine glass that has left a ring of red condensation on the table. A half eaten melon also sits on the table, with a cigarette crushed in its rind. In the background a floral lounge chair and beach umbrella can be seen. Behind that, a deep black and purple sky is filled with stars.

Dear AMP Community, 

Every single day, our communities are coming together to find ways to co-create, heal, and fight for radical changes to our world during this surreal and challenging time. In a recent op-ed for Truthout, organizer Ejeris Dixon writes:

"...we need to solidify and amplify a vision of liberation that is emotionally and spiritually compelling. We need the kind of vision that gets people out of bed, and inspires them to take bold actions, while navigating an ever increasingly terrifying world...

How will we push ourselves to build the movements we need and increase time for rest, collective care, and our health? How can we do this and increase our discipline, rigor, and accountability to each other?”  


While we don't know what's coming next, we do know that the quality of the questions we ask as a society will shape what's possible. Here’s to asking the right questions.
