‘Be the change you want to see…’

by Maureen Bo, Administrative Vice President

Those were the words of Mahatma Gandhi. He didn’t say, “Just sit there and blame the big guys in the suits, the poobahs, and then go back to your TV program.” Nor did he tell us to do the heroic deeds that cost him his life.

He did give us an example of how one person can initiate change. We don’t need to give our lives, but we do have to take action for change to happen. Here are some ways to make change happen:

1) Use the Retiree Advocate to tell the truth about the political situation that the corporate media suppresses.

2) Invite friends or neighbors to get acquainted with PSARA at one of our meetings or demonstrations.

3) Give that friend or family member a PSARA membership and a year’s worth of political news and insight for just $15.

Movements grow one member at a time. We are building a movement. Each of us can apply the wise words of Gandhi: “Be the change you wish to see.”
