20250205 Fighting For Our Future in the Streets & with Catherine Coleman Flowers -Nicole Sandler Show

There's a lot going on today. We do have a guest in the second half hour of the show. Catherine Coleman Flowers is one of the leading environmental activists of our time. Her new book, HOLY GROUND: ON ACTIVISM, ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE, AND FINDING HOPE, is just released. And the timing couldn't be better because we can certainly use some hope right about now. I almost canceled today's show as I debated going to the Arizona State Capitol in Phoenix to participate in today's 50501 "Build the Resistance" protests. I'll explain on the show why I opted not to go today.. But the more research I've done into it, the more grassroots it appears to be, and I'm so happy about that. We got calls from Joe who went to the CA state capitol in Sacramento, and Rebecca who went in Idaho, and both reported really great experiences. So I'm thrilled that I found a website that's now serving as a central hub for a very grassroots movement. It's at BuildTheResistance.org. With the horrific pronouncements and plans coming from the mouth of our would-be dictator, more than ever, despair is not an option. That's one of my constant mantras these days as I walk the tightrope between anxiety, depression and the future.
