The late, great John Lewis was all about “good trouble”. He saw the toughest civil rights challenges and refused to stay in his comfort zone to solve them. Good trouble means just that: being willing to let go of your cushy, safe situation to risk, to change, to grow and to contribute. No major change comes without courage at the level of John Lewis.
As you look at your life right now in the summer of 2020- COVID-19, racial revolts, job losses, homelessness, tech and food insecurity for so many- what are you willing to do differently as a student, an employee, a spouse, a brother/sister, parent and/or child? If John Lewis was a 10 for impact on the scale of 1-10 (10=highest) what would you rate yourself? What would you rate yourself if you truly stuck your neck out to get in to “good trouble”? What gifts and major changes would result in the world? Whose lives would be improved? What new abilities would you have from moving out of your comfort zone-whatever that is for each person?
One big way to be resilient is to shift focus from self to community. By getting in to “good trouble” you can transform the challenges of 2020 and aspire to the highest level of contribution up there with saints like John Lewis our veterans, our health care workers, our front line teachers and administrators, those who work in our prisons and half way houses and those who serve in our government here and around the world.
Get in to “good trouble” for a cause you care deeply about and see how that improves the world as well as your own purpose and fulfillment in it.

THE FLYOVER NATION
Energy's Role in a Troubled Heartland
By J.C. Whorton
A unique and timely discussion of the challenging issues facing the country’s troubled Heartland.
Since the beginning of westward expansion into the Heartland’s vast regions, natural resource development has played a historic role in shaping its communities. Today, domestic oil and gas development offers one of the strongest prospects for the Heartland’s present and future prosperity as well as the nation’s re-emergence as a dominant player in the global energy economy.
The U.S. is now the world’s largest producer of crude oil and natural gas, two circumstances that are universally disrupting international geopolitical order. The earth has a finite supply of natural resources and a rapidly growing and over consuming population.
As America positions itself for a very uncertain and constantly evolving global marketplace, will the Heartland become America’s “great connector” or “great divide”?

Responding to Crisis
The 30-Day Justice Plan
As the reset of America is underway, understanding the role you can play in a system of change can be difficult, but we encourage you to listen, learn and be active. To start, instead of, say, a juice cleanse, feed your brain and move yourself with this practical plan over the next month.
Here's our guide
of what to read, watch, listen to and do in order to be part of the solution.
|
Your copy should address 3 key questions: Who am I writing for? (Audience) Why should they care? (Benefit) What do I want them to do here? (Call-to-Action)
Create a great offer by adding words like "free" "personalized" "complimentary" or "customized." A sense of urgency often helps readers take an action, so think about inserting phrases like "for a limited time only" or "only 7 remaining!"

GlobalMindED and the SDG Impact Fund are delighted to announce
GlobalMindED's Donor Advised Fund
.
2020 is the 75th Anniversary of the United Nations and the 25th Anniversary of the Beijing Women's Declaration and Action Platform. Many from around the world are thinking of 2020 as the gateway to our most vital decade for delivering equity, the Sustainable Development Goals, and a world where all can thrive. Our key time for these outcomes is 2020-2030.
GlobalMindED DAF and the SDG Impact Fund are a powerful combined force for good as the 2019 year comes to a close and we reflect on the gratitude and the commitments we make to the causes we care most about. The DAF offers immense power and flexibility for giving prior to the year's end as you plant seeds of generous intention for 2020 and the decade ahead.
When you contribute to GlobalMindED, you support First Gen students. We have served more than 400 students by connecting them to role models, mentors, internships and jobs. Your generous support will allow us to take our work 10x and reach these talented students at scale who lack the resources and support we provide. Your support also helps teachers who can't afford the conference fees, faculty at colleges which are under resourced and students who persist at those universities despite food insecurity and/or housing insecurity.
