“What shall we do with the poisons
in our food, in our air, in our water,
in our hearts?

We have no models for the new American society,
but we know it must be.”

-Vincent Harding

WE DREAM
OF NEW WORLDS
See What We Can Do Together

“We, of the National Council of Elders, dream of new worlds. We have helped bring to life the movements that have enriched our humanity over the past 70 years. Yet we know that we have a  long way to go to create relations based on peace, love, and mutual responsibility. In 2012 we gathered in Greensboro, North Carolina and wrote a “living Declaration” pledging to “be faithful to our own history” and to undertake with younger generations to do “everything in our power”  to bring a greater measure of justice, equality, and peace to our country and to our world.”
