I’ve been writing new blog posts on LANDBACK Friends (LANDBackFriends.com) because those are the issues I’m learning and writing about now. Here is a list of the posts from July to present on LANDBACK Friends:

Quakers, social justice and revolution 
You may be interested in ShiraDest’s long-term strategy involving land donations, over 70 year time frame. That blog series is on her Wondering Wednesdays at shiradest.wordpress.com
Thanks very much for the web reference.
I hope it leads to useful cooperative works.
I’m looking forward to reading posts there, and potential for cooperation sounds interesting, thanks.
Thank you,
Very best regards
Thank you for this list: is it worked into a longer term plan?
Stay safe,
Shira
I wrote on Quakers, social justice and revolution for about 6 years. Then when native friends told me the best way to support them would be to learn and write about #LANKBACK, I created the new WordPress site, LANDBACK Friends several months ago, which is where my new posts appear. The list is to let those who follow Quakers, social justice and revolution know LANDBACK Friends is where new post can be found. The Friends of LANDBACK Friends is a loose connection to Quakers, of which I am.
Ah, ok, I shall search for that new blog as well, then. I’ve been told by a Quaker friend (in England) that she considered me to be a Quaker, for having stood with them for several years at the local Stop War vigil. Now, as I look to move to a more sustainable part of my own country, the US, I think that the most sustainable community for me may well be the Friends Society, whom I have long admired for what I considered to be a generational debt in my family. A Quaker purchased my 5xs gr grandfather as a young boy of about 7 yr old, and freed him at the age of 25 in the NW territory, which became Ohio. Since then, I’ve studied the Quaker ideals on and off, but as a, now I must admit it, an atheist, I felt no home in any religious community. Now that there seem to be deist Friends, I am wondering if perhaps I could find space in your community.
Best regards, and back to editing Baby Acres/Floors for my Wondering Wednesday series,

That’s a very interesting story. If you’d be interested sometime, my small rural Quaker meeting often meets via Zoom Sunday mornings. Or you might find something nearer to you here: https://www.fgcquaker.org/connect/quaker-finder
Yes, thank you. I’m looking for a small rural town to move to, as long as I can find a room in a smoke-free home within walking or cycling (safely, as I am not a good cyclist) distance to the grocery store and the library! 🙂 I was thinking NY state, but I’m open to other blue states! 🙂
In any case, I’ll be very glad to make your acquaintance via Zoom, and to meet the other Friends in your Meeting, many many thanks!
Wrt fgcQuaker, it looks familiar, as I’ve been searching Quaker meetings a bit for a while, on and off, but I’ll give it another go, as well. I live, currently, in San Diego, CA, but intend to leave, as this state is not sustainable (I had assumed that desalination was easier than it is, apparently, and had no idea the extent of the issues with the Water Board…), and the few Intentional Communities for which I came out here are not what I had hoped to find.
More interesting story, thanks. My email address is jakislin@outlook.com if you’d like me to send Zoom link for Quaker meeting sometime.
