TA MI will become a valued resource that connects the great work of Michigan environmental groups with seniors looking for a place to participate

That TA MI will continue to be so inward focused in our meetings that we will not be effective in drawing new people or keeping the folks currently in the larger TA MI group who are looking for a current place to participate in climate action.

I was going to say my greatest fear is that we will never launch, and then I read Barb T's, and I think that is an even greater fear. We could launch and yet remain ineffective in attracting a meaningful base.

That TA MI will become a large, state-wide, vibrant, active group of elders taking meaningful action on democracy and climate change.

My hope is that TA Michigan will be a gathering spot for seniors who want to make a difference and a resource for everyone in Michigan.

My fear is that, despite all our efforts, we fail to be taken seriously or never gain the momentum required to attract and retain members.

Greatest Fear

That TA MI/TA Central, and all of the GOV progressive advocacy groups, will not be strong and effective enough to prevent another Trump presidency.

That TA MI will kick it into high gear soon so that we have time to impact the upcoming election and be a positive, sustainable force for climate action.

TA MI won't find enough people willing to serve in all the leadership roles (especially as co-facilitators).

We’ll coalesce into an effective elder-led group taking action with other climate justice organizations throughout the state in measurable, consequential ways.

Worst fear

We’ll squander the opportunity to add our distinct perspective and platform to the coalition of MI environmental activists, especially related to elder participation in non-violent direct action.

Greatest fear - the resource of the Interdependent Pair will not be seen as useful and leveraged by our group.

My best hope. That our group will find the leveraging polarities useful.

My greatest fear is that T becomes president and dooms the world to warming destruction

2024-06-24 21:04:54 UTC

My best hope is that TA MI becomes a source of community for us, and we can join together to create positive changes
