"Now Is Not the Time to Let Anything Else Distract Us"
 "The political and religious right-wing tries its best to sidetrack us so that we’re living in terms of their agenda, not ours. And they’ve got national think tanks to tell them how to take charge of the discussions. They count on distracting us, and it often works.
Yet, there’s really only one issue to discuss. Put simply in a sound bite manner that we need to repeat again and again to our culture and its media: it’s the right to express our diversity and our love for whomever anyone wants to love. Period.

 The
Fairness Project On-Line Activist Tool Kit
The Fairness Project is in the process
of making available the handout materials from
Dr. Minor's popular workshop: "Being an Activist
Without Being a Victim." These materials are chosen
because they encourage activist leadership to proceed
from a progressive, healing model which contradicts
the models of leadership found in most popular
forms, models that are meant to keep the system
in place rather than to make changes that support
humanity, and result in burnout among leaders.
