Joanna Macy on ‘Waking Up Together’

Excerpted from an interview by Dahr Jamail, in Truthout

Jamail | What is called of us now, from the planet? What are we being called to do at this time?

Macy | To wake up together. That is actually the name of the movement in Sri Lanka that I went over to do field work with. Sarvodaya. Taking the Gandhian term, but using it in a slightly different way, but the same Sanskrit, which is “everybody wakes up together.”
