In spite of ‘best’ efforts to make this world a better place, the majority of planetary citizens, divided by ethnic and racial conflict, economic disparities and lack of equal access to resources, still live in hunger and fear for their future and that of their children.
Through all this women continue to shoulder the burden of society’s failures and frustrations. They continue to experience violence and unprecedented struggle in all sectors of society.
Women work harder and sacrifice more and at an increasing rate they are forced to watch their children starve. Daily we hear of global warming, rampant consumerism with nowhere to throw our toxic goods, economic collapse, resource scarcity, hunger and epidemics. At this point in our evolution there hardly seems to be much more to lose.
Part of the problem is that those who speak loudest are given authority to decide what matters.
How many of these authorities have been women?
How many of these authorities have been influenced by all
that is good in the world and how many are open to multiple ways of knowing?
Through NOMAD2NOMAD you will challenge those who have written our history and explore new ways to live.
In NOMAD2NOMAD you will find others who are traveling in the same direction as you but elsewhere at the same time.
Together we all will make a better world. What, really, have we got to lose? What, has our dispirited human race left to lose?
With NOMAD2NOMAD we will not throw up our hands in despair claiming, “that’s just the way it is.” We open up space for a new and different tomorrow. We can no longer afford to simply let tomorrow come.
Through NOMAD2NOMAD we will bring together seemingly disparate communities that do believe in a common future.
If only they become nomads and cease to think that they know what is best.
