The first week of writing (and drawing) my new newsletter has been everything I hoped it would be, largely because of people like you. Thank you to everyone who is coming along for the ride in this experiment (and it is an experiment because I’ve never tried anything like it before). I hope you will find it useful, as well as interesting and — dare I say — amusing. For those who’ve yet to sign up, please consider joining us here [[link removed]] .
When I asked why people are joining this community, the answers were inspiring.

Elizabeth,
a
writer
and
educator,
shared
she’s
spent
four
years
writing
weekly
with
friends,
having
realized
how
such
thoughtful,
community-based
writing
and
sharing
is
a
powerful
antidote
to
the
sound
bites
and
ginned-up
outrage
of
social
media.

Andy,
a
29-year
old,
commented
that
he’s
in
search
of
“a
sliver
of
hope
about
how
we
can
actually
REALIZE
the
progress
that
always
seems
to
be
just
over
the
horizon,
yet
never
in
reach.”
*
Kay
is
tired
of
the
mainstream
media
and
cable
news
punditry
that
is
all
doom
and
gloom.
*
Mark
expressed
that
I’m
the
wind
beneath
his
social
justice
wings
(wow!)
and
remarked
on
my
drawings.
*
Rose
is
a
70-year
old
retired
lawyer
who
shared
that
she’s
making
up
for
years
spent
yelling
at
the
radio
and
TV,
and
keeping
up
the
fight
against
hopelessness.
Even though the former guy is no longer in the Oval Office, the dark forces of authoritarianism and white supremacy are still very much with us — as are growing inequality and corruption. Of course, there’s no simple remedy. But surely part of the answer is to grow a community of people committed to spreading the truth and contributing to a better world.
Please consider joining this community today [[link removed]] .
With gratitude,
Robert Reich
