Another great Substack from you. Sorry it took me a few days to get to it. I'm trying to find stats for homelessness right now. Not easy. Have you read Barbara Kingsolver's novels? She is one of my all-time favorites. "Unsheltered" (2018) speaks to that issue. "Demon Copperhead" is rich in racism and the opioid epidemic (2002) and even the "Poisonwood bible" (1998) speaks to out of control grossly mistaken Christianity and values.

Outstanding, Tom. This jumps off the page:

~> Our nonprofit sector must band together to oppose the dismemberment of American society. This means working within sectors, but also across sectors — health care with higher education, justice reform with direct services to underserved populations and the arts with everybody.

You are in your element here. I know this because I've been following you for some time. I'm sure you recall the Mukhtaran Bibi story some years ago which got a lot of energy from your involvement. I noted it at my blog because to my surprise you included my small part in that endeavor.

Keep up the good work.
