As a healer, my work is to find and address the root cause.
This is exactly why we fully participate and get political. Getting political is going upstream to have an impact on the number of people falling in downstream.
The actions or inaction of elected officials, decision makers, and policy makers put and keep Minnesotans in this horrific unsustainable situation.
Having the right people represent us and voting out the people who don’t, is how we move toward healing. This is a mindfulness practice. We begin by raising our awareness and noticing exactly what our elected officials are doing and hold them accountable.
The midterm election is in November. All House of Representatives and 35 Senate seats are up for re-election; along with numerous state and local elections. We hold the power to influence change for the better.
Healing Within Studio stands in solidarity with our BIPOC neighbors, ICE out of Minnesota, and the National General Strike tomorrow, January 30th. However, community acupuncture is on because it is essential health care. Our studio is committed to promoting connections, holding conversations, and getting political.
The upcoming caucus is on Tuesday, Feb 3rd. Wisconsin has a special election for state Supreme Court on April 7th. We write postcards. We volunteer. We work on campaigns.
Any hope of regaining our democracy lies in our collective vigilance and care.
