Brains, Empathy, and Energy ~ Climate, Congress, and Sean Casten

Illinois Congressman Sean Casten is a scientist, clean energy entrepreneur,  Downers Grove Dad, &  the rare “E-word” politician (that’s ”Empathy” folks!) Join us for tales  from the frontlines in DC. If you’ve ever wondered what hope looks like in human form—it might just be this guy.

✨ VOCAB LESSON-of-the-day: EMPATHY = the ability to communicate that incredibly healing message of “you're not alone.”

✨ AFFIRMATION: “My hope is a form of resistance.”

Even as the world changes, I choose to be a force of healing. I hold space for both sorrow and possibility. My actions matter.
