Abuse/misuse/failure to use power is a them from recent news, and includes failure to support humanitarian aid, racist abuse by a governmental organ, abuse of opportunities to provide spiritual support to instead enable proselytising, and silencing & denial of aid and justice of sexual assault and gender based victims.
On the other hand, the news also include external support for a democracy under attack, a quest for legal duty of care regarding the climate crisis, a counter to scaremongering * , and protests against democracy threatening changes.
Yes, there are problems in the world, but some people are doing their best to address those, and it is worth joining them - no matter how powerless you may feel.
Some useful links below.
* This included:
“I reminded them of the scaremongering that has happened before when the nation has been on the cusp of change. We were told that cattle stations would go broke if Aboriginal stockmen won equal pay. We were warned we would lose our backyards if the Gurindji people received a handful of sand, and if Mabo proved Native Title in the High Court. So, here we are again. But Australians aren’t so gullible. ... I am buoyed by the upswell of activity for yes across the nation. We are almost at 20,000 volunteers and the numbers are rising rapidly, by the day.”
If they are of any use of interest, the activism information links from my former news posts are available in this post.
