Becoming a Citizen Activist: Stories, Strategies, and Advice for Changing Our World | Nick Licata

Spotify set me up with an "Angry Running List," which taught me that I still enjoy Rage Against the Machine as much or more than I did in my feisty 20s, but now I cry at the lyrics.

It also taught me that, despite my conviction to the contrary, I apparently don't hate ALL Foo Fighters songs.

BarbaraBB I used to love Rage too and still do whenever I hear them. Quite timely 🤦🏻‍♀️ 2w

BarbaraBB Also Foo Fighters has been growing on me 💕 2w

PuddleJumper Rage Against still hits that spot for me especially when I'm out walking. Foo Fighters are a bit hit and miss. I have a screamy walk playlist which is a lot of emo, punk, and rock lol 2w

lil1inblue I love Rage far more at 45 than I did at 15. In fact, my Tom Morello crush didn't start until my 30s. 😂 2w

"You don't have to be a Marvel comic book superhero to change the world." (First line of prologue.)

"The first step to becoming an active citizen is to find out who has power, knock on their door, and say open it up." (First line of chapter one.)

Chassie @lindseyosborne I downloaded them at www.womensmarch.com/100. It has 10 actions for the first 100 days in the administration. ✊🏼✊🏾✊🏿✊🏻✊🏽 8y

Bette Thanks for the info. I've been emailing. Do you think one has more weight than the other? I want to do whatever makes the most difference. Thanks. 8y

Chassie @Bette I think it all matters! I've been calling, e-mailing, and I sent the post cards today. I've heard various thoughts behind each method, and they all seem to have their own merits. (edited) 8y

Bette Thank you. Then I'll continue on, and I'm also downloading postcards and sharing them at work, so thanks for the posting. 👍❤️️🙂 8y
