I am grateful for the farm workers who brought their bounty to my table even as their families have been ruthlessly targeted. I am grateful for the civil rights activists who fought for the rights my children enjoy. And I am angry about all the rest.

Give and be matched to help six families SURVIVE. It's hard to emphasize enough that fire ceased or not (and it hasn't), these are still life-and-death days for these six families: famine, displacement, flooded tents, URGENT health conditions.

This feels… weird. I am accustomed to being the interviewer, not the interviewed. But here we are.
Old pal Menka Shivdasani will be steering this chat about poetry, community, the commons, reclaiming public spaces, and much else.
Come, if Sanpada is accessible for you.
Please share with friends.

For those in India - do remember to complete the SIR enrollment process at voters.eci.gov.in - you can do it online (it is a short process, tho I got hung at the last step and went through it by paper). If you intend to do anything against fascism, this is the absolute least you can do that's > 0.

I will be moderating this session. Hope to see you there!
This Sunday, at the TGP Sessions, we look back at the early public internet in India (roughly mid-90s to 2000). This is an ‘open table’ event: some pre-decided speakers, but anyone with stories to share can ask for a seat at the table.
