Letter to the editor: Repair, learn and save

An example of what’s right, helpful and good, curious and creative, problem solving, community building, inter-generational collaboration, with respect, laughter and skills, took place right here in Middlebury Vermont at The Repair Fair in the American Legion on Saturday, April 5. While the sign I had prepared for the “Hands Off” rally languished in my car, I experienced what I had handwritten on my sign:

Yes Humanity – No Technocracy

Thank you Jordy, Paul, Sophie, Nora, Amaya, Dave, Ben, Josh, so many more, all the AmeriCorps volunteers, all the people whose names I didn’t learn, all those who still tinker and figure it out. Thank you for your laughter and your service.

Well done. Say it again

Yes Humanity – No Technocracy
