I feel like this book belongs alongside Timothy Snyder's "20 Lessons On Tyranny" as required reading for the 21st Century.

The New Now has arrived. We are the people we’ve been waiting for.

The New Now / Manifestos, Reinventions & Declarations / Updated & Expanded is an insightful, free-thinking, Neo-Beatnik uplifting collection of manifestos and essays about the New Now we’re living through. After a global pandemic rolled across and ravaged our land, we can more easily understand how historic and prehistoric events happened. Deeply embedded, wrongheaded, calcified cultural norms are being pushed against as never before, and we can understand how societal shifts happened in past centuries – within months, days, or hours, and when a tipping point was finally reached.

While holding onto heart-centered awareness, humor, humanity, and a clear vision – we highlight what’s being done to push back against book banning, stolen human rights, and extremist censorship in this updated & expanded version. Fast forward several years past 2020 (when we released the earlier version of this book), and our world is in more turmoil, with the gun violence epidemic and the Climate Crisis ramping up, there’s much more at stake when it comes to building the future we want to live in.

For the updated & expanded version of our book, there are eight brand-new essays, where the subject matter and tone reflect the gravity of where we are in the New Now, and how much the world has shifted under our feet in such a short amount of time.

• The End of Authoritarianism

• Living in the New Now (There’s Never Going to Be a New Normal)

• Looking for the Good

• A Manifesto on Manifestos

• America has a book-banning problem

• From Seattle to Brooklyn, public libraries have stood up against book banning,

• Living in the Divided States of America

• A Declaration of Interdependence #4
