We congratulate Amarylis Douglass on the publishing of her book,
‘Fellowship Of The Rain’

Winner of the 2020 Blue Light Press Award, this book is the product
of a four-year project; poems “of witness to the epidemic of homelessness,”
“unforgettable portraits of Americans… for whom
the word recovery has not applied,” those who find a place to sleep
each night, outside.
Proceeds from the sales will be shared with “Street Roots”,
in Portland, Oregon

News from the Oceans
As part of our constant focus on work being done to heal our oceans we bring videos, news and ways to be involved.

Sign a Petition to Protect the U.S. Atlantic’s Only Marine National Monument

Dr Marianne Goldberg had a dream to create a Ocean Sanctuary for Martha’s Vineyard.
Unfortunately for us all, her life was cut short before she could realize this dream. In her memory we could at least preserve what we have so close by.

The Northeast Canyons and Seamounts Marine National Monument is located 130 miles off the coast of Cape Cod. It is a biodiversity hotspot, teeming with ocean wildlife from endangered whales, seabirds, and sea turtles to rare thousand-year-old deep-sea corals.

It is the only marine monument in the U.S. Atlantic Ocean, providing lasting protection from oil and gas drilling, commercial fishing, mining, and other destructive activities.

However, the Trump Administration is threatening to roll back these protections. Climate change already threatens our ocean ecosystem. The proposed rollbacks to the Monument would further endanger this special place.

We must preserve the Northeast Canyons and Seamounts to ensure a healthy ocean for generations to come.

The Trump Administration should leave existing protections in place for the Northeast Canyons and Seamounts Marine National Monument.
