We recently held an "out-of-town tryout" for my ClimateWeekNYC keynote, exploring a crucial question: What would it take for businesses to operate as if they truly belong to the living world, giving nature a voice in corporate boardrooms? This concept, while seemingly radical today, echoes ancient human wisdom.

We workshopped these ideas and invite you to review the conversation. Share your insights and join our next session, held every third Wednesday of the month from 12:00-1:30 pm Pacific.

This "Living Between Worlds" session explores the business case for sustainability, moving beyond profit metrics to understand business's true purpose. Featuring Paul Herman of HIP Investor, the discussion unpacked psychological, cultural, and systemic barriers hindering organizations from embracing sustainable opportunities, despite mounting evidence.

The conversation challenged the myth that "doing good" costs more, highlighted "submerged value" (hidden benefits/risks), and addressed how fragmented thinking prevents systemic change. It reimagined business's role in creating a thriving world, showcasing companies bridging profit and purpose.

On June 24, 2018, an interfaith gathering for Immigrant Justice protested President Trump's "Zero Tolerance" policy at the Federal Correctional Institution in Sheridan, Oregon. Participants prayed, sang, and read scripture, opposing the internment of 123 refugees and the separation of parents from their children.

Despite officials portraying objectors as "radicals," diverse Portlanders united, led by love, to condemn the policy as immoral and support detainees. Freedom for Immigrants (https://www.freedomforimmigrants.org/) offers data on detention, highlighting it as a major industry. This event was filmed by Ruth Ann Barrett.

Fewer than 25 red wolves remain in the wild, with five killed by vehicle strikes this year alone in North Carolina. These devastating losses, including that of two-year-old Muppet, highlight the urgent need for a wildlife crossing to protect this endangered species.

A generous donor has pledged a $2 million match for a Red Wolf Wildlife Crossing Fund. However, we must raise an additional $2 million in matching funds by August 31st to secure crucial federal funding for its construction.

Help secure a safer future for red wolves. Join the campaign and contribute today: biologicaldiversity.org
