BUILD AMERICA -- Building cultural ties with other countries, creating new ways to engage in international trade, building small communities.

HEAL AMERICA -- Form wise women councils to lead a process of truth and reconciliation circles, to launch a massive movement to heal our divisions, especially racial ones and with indigeneous peoples, but also for women to be heard about how oppressive our patriarchal systems have been for them.
