In the early days of Z’s existence, a few contributors were invaluable to the impact of the project. We’re proud to count both @Chomsky and Zinn among them and to lean on their timeless insights today. note1ue58k42806hp6fsnf786hghxgkrl40pynzx24ggd7n335qvkd7hq0eu0vp Do not despair. Organize.

Open Letter to Young People on World War III “I know that most young people, when they look to the future, have a lot of fear and little hope.

The clarity and accuracy of @Chomsky ‘s analysis is as good now as it was in 1970.

To make a rapid, far-reaching, and unrelenting break with our fossil-fuel dependency — 79% of the nation’s energy is now drawn from fossil fuels — a national mobilization would be needed, and it would have to be a genuine all-of-society effort. Fortunately, there is a historical precedent for just such a comprehensive mobilization of government and citizenry in dire circumstances…
