Tratto da L’autobiografia di Mamma Jones ( Einaudi 1977 ) questo breve passaggio sembra fotografare nitidamente il panorama che l’attuale Società civile ha disegnato per noi. Dalla Grecia ai paesi asiatici alla stesa America del nord l’attuale “crisi economica” spinge verso il basso quella che in passato avremmo definito middle-class.
Question authority , impegno civile, coinvolgimento e commitment. Tocca a noi, alla nostra responsabilità e voglia di aiutarci ed ad un addormentato senso del dovere impegnarci per noi stessi, la nostra famiglia e la nostra comunità.
Per chi è interessato a Mother Jones basta andare in internet e cercare, mentre il magazine ispirato dal pensiero socialista-libertario di Mamma Jones è pubblicato in America ( http://www.motherjones.com/ ) e in questo momento è in difficoltà.

Dear friend,
There's not much time left, so I'll keep this short.
Nonprofit Mother Jones needs to raise $25,000 this month to pay for critical reporting, and we could really use your help. It's our mission to do groundbreaking investigative journalism and publish it online for maximum impact. And while our reporting is free to read online, it costs us a lot to produce.
You may have read this in our earlier emails, but it's worth repeating: Even a small donation makes a big difference. Your $5 or $10 will put reporters in the field. It will keep the lights on at our Washington, DC, bureau. It will train the future BS-busting journalists in our internship program.
We're close to reaching our goal—and your donation could be the one that gets us all the way there. Won't you help us out? It just takes a minute to donate via credit card or PayPal. Plus, your gift is tax-deductible.
We won't be sending you any more emails about this; it's time for us to get back to full-time muckraking. But I just wanted to tell you that your support would mean a lot to us.
Please join your fellow readers and make a difference today.
With sincere thanks,
