On Juneteenth we envision the next great leap in humanities emancipation -- a way to rise above the divisions and strife to come together as one!

​

Laura and Emanuel show us how the Holomovement offers a fusion of science and spirit that can ignite the evolutionary impulse in us and cohere, catalyze and synergize like-minded organizations and movements into a grand collaborative effort to address the world’s challenges.

They co-created the Fundacion por el Futuro, Purpose Earth and Greenheart International.

In Celebration of World Citizen Action Week -- the 76th anniversary of when Garry Davis became a World Citizen -- we’ll discuss Will Reed’s future memoir, PINBALLED, the story of a free-thinking, nonconformist's lifelong fight for what always eluded him – a place to live and call home.

How did we get from the terrible 2020s to here? 

Suzanne Taylor created an essay contest to answer that question and people shifted from being overwhelmed by doom and gloom to excitement about humanity’s future! Join us in talking with Suzanne about the wealth of ideas generated by her contest -- and where we can go from here.

Suzanne was a painter and an actress – her many TV credits include The Dick Van Dyke Show (she played Van Dyke’s secretary in the feature film, Divorce American Style), I Dream of Jeannie, and My Favorite Martian.

In the 1970s, she turned all her attention to the world problematique. She’s made wonderful contributions since then, including two feature documentaries about crop circles: What on Earth? Inside the Crop Circle Mystery and CROP CIRCLES: Quest for Truth, as well as doing 36 episodes of The Cosmic Fuel Pump, for “how I get sane in a crazy world,” on local Los Angeles TV.

On her current platform, NOW WHAT?, where the essay contest came from, she is urging a massive coalition of we-the-people to become the force we could be.
