Towards a secular spiritual activism. Standing Rock shows the way. (So does Black Lives Matter.). When activism succeeds and transforms how we live - there is always an underlying spiritual force. Justice for the planet is strongest when it comes from the Earth itself. The power is there in the thing we are trying to save. There's a trick in this. We have to invite the Earth to save us first, and white people don't know about that. ---- The director of the Church of Stop Shopping is Savitri D in New York.
