Grass Roots Parties and the Political Landscape
Feb 27 2020
Here we begin to flush out the Political Activism Landscape
With emphasis – not on Political Differences and Political Parties
Instead we place focus on “Being Heart Centered”
And at Heart Plan Vision that means, always doing our “inner shadow work” as needed
“As Within So Without” – the enemy is “not out there” – Look Within
We Direct our Activism To
Empowerment of the People
Being sure the citizens are well informed
Respecting we each have different ways of viewing the world
While at same time honoring the HEART and coming from LOVE and JOY
Organizing and reaching out to citizens – what is needed to mobilize people to vote
What is needed so that all citizens have easy access to voting – and accurate voting counts
Let’s begin the Organizational Structure for Grass Roots Parties – Politics Sector
Here are some Initial Ideas
Develop a Facebook Private Group – and Other Organizing Platforms if they seem better
Identify 3 Individuals that will represent each State in the U.S. (to begin with)
Research the Organizing that went on after Trump was elected
And duplicate and replicate
