Late last year, we announced a big change with HOPE Magazine as we begin the next chapter of our publication as an expanded quarterly magazine. Publisher David A. Grant When Sarah and I first discussed moving to a less frequent, but much larger version of HOPE, there was a lot of excitement. We both knew that this Editor Sarah Grant would provide us the opportunity to dig deeper into topics that most help those within the brain injury community. Our Contributors To that end, our first expanded issue features an in-depth look at how Marjorie Appleby support groups enrich the lives of both survivors as well as those who love Megan Bacigalupo them. When we announced a call for support group articles last year, the Stacia Bissell response was nothing short of heartwarming. Thank you for those who William Carter contributed stories for this special section. Your shared experiences will Russ Cobleigh help others as they navigate life after brain injury. Rachel Dombeck Debra Gorman Our next issue will feature a special section about life after brain injury as Nancy Hueber seen through the eyes of family members and caregivers.

  • Dear Secretary Salazar
    Dear Secretary Salazar: I strongly oppose the Bush administration's illegal and illogical regulations under Section 4(d) and Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act, which reduce protections to polar bears and create an exemption for greenhouse gas emissions. I request that you revoke these regulations immediately, within the 60-day window provided by Congress for their removal. The Endangered Species Act has a proven track record of success at reducing all threats to species, and it makes absolutely no sense, scientifically or legally, to exempt greenhouse gas emissions -- the number-one threat to the polar bear -- from this successful system. I urge you to take this critically important step in restoring scientific integrity at the Department of Interior by rescinding both of Bush's illegal regulations reducing protections to polar bears.

No time for sexists and homophobes. Now, more than ever, is the time for ARTISTS. It’s time for us to rise above and to create. To show humanity. To spread hope. We must prevent society from destroying itself, from losing its way. Now is the time for love.” ― Kamand Kojouri A message from the artistic director By any measure of the world, 2020 was a violent, untenable year that pushed the human resolve to its limits. We had a pandemic and countless lives lost (let alone livelihoods). We had the murders of George Floyd, Breanna Taylor, Ahmad Arbery, and so many others, with the resultant social justice uprising and protests that these demanded. On the arts side, in the beginning, with most performing venues shut down and gatherings of people prohibited, the performing arts were especially devastated. Yet one by one, like lights out of darkness, musicians, dancers, writers and other artists began to find ways to express themselves. The festival of the “Uncertainty of Fate” was conceived as a way to solicit and collect these expressions. Over the next 5 days, you will hear 37 new commissions from established as well as emerging composers and activists, interwoven with a few existing works composed earlier, but quite relevant.
