09/24/25 Love As A Change Strategy
This is a free, public book launch hosted by American Leadership Forum Houston Gulf Coast. Come as you are. Whether you work in an office, a school, a clinic, a shop, or at home, you are welcome here. We’ll talk about real change that starts with how we treat one another.
Climate emotions, thoughts, and plans
Highlights
Why it matters: Youth report widespread climate distress; higher severe‑weather exposure aligns with stronger distress and desire for action. Use this to normalize feelings, add supports, and create constructive action pathways.
Use in programs: Pair discussions about emotions with coping tools and a short local action step; invite cross‑viewpoint dialogue to reduce polarization.
Calls to Action
This kit gathers the current calls to action from We Hold These Truths. Start small, invite others, and help uphold freedom, equality, fair elections, and the rule of law.
Pick one action now, then share with a friend or host a short conversation this month.
Liberating Structures
Liberating Structures is a repertoire of 33 simple methods that help any group include everyone, surface insights, and move to action. This profile curates practical activities by time needed, plus key links, video, and a wayfinder for educators and organizers.
Re:Public
RePublic positions itself as a new local news platform where residents can publish local updates, surface community needs, and engage with civic tools such as representative lookups and action listings. The platform emphasizes transparency, accountability, and participation at the city and town level across the United States.
• Hyper-local focus — enter your state and town to view nearby items.
• Inform, organize, act tooling aimed at civic engagement and local accountability.
• Citizen-funded model; positioned as ad-free local media.
