Sowing the seeds of change

by E B—Colorado

Today I met a fascinating man while canvassing in Thornton, Colorado. He is nearing his eightieth birthday and is still working part-time as a security guard to make ends meet. This hard working American had been fired just months before he was to receive retirement. When his wife of forty years unexpectedly died later that year he was hit with a large financial burden, as she did not have health insurance. She was followed in death by three of their five children. This man is still working to pay off the debt accrued for the burial of his family.

This powerfully positive man was very interested in what our organization is doing and was pleased to see that young people in this country still care about the issues. He told me, “There is a time to harvest and there is a time to sow. Right now we have to sow the seeds of change and a great harvest will come.”
