Plum Village Earth Holder Community: Coordinated Earth Justice Practice

“Once we see that something needs to be done, we must take action.
Seeing and action go together. Otherwise, what is the point in seeing?”
                                                                        – Thich Nhat Hanh

We have to wake up to the fact that everything is connected to everything else.
Our safety and well-being cannot be individual matters anymore. 
If "they" are not safe, there is no way that "we" can be safe.
Taking care of other people's safety is taking care of our own safety.
To take care of their well-being is to take care of our own well-being.
It is the mind of discrimination and separation
that is at the foundation of all violence and hate.     
Thich Nhat Hanh
