Notes & Nods

Fiddling While Rome Burns with JD Stillwater

When the entire planet is engulfed in flames (climate change, nuclear arms, fascism, extinction, mass migration), isn’t full-time activism the only reasonable activity? Isn’t everything else a kind of indulgence? What if activism just isn’t your thing? What if your talents and passions lie in something like fiddling, or other arts? On Sept. 20, JD Stillwater shares his own wrestling with this quandary and where they have led him.

In-person meets at Unitarian Universalist Church of the Verdugo Hills (UUCVH)  at 10:30 a.m., 4451 Dunsmore Ave. in La Crescenta or visit the UUCVH website for the Zoom link https://www.uuverdugo.org/.
