Here is a first step: Visit our Web site http://www.tikkun.org/ and download the resolution (it's in the middle of the page) there and get it endorsed by the local chapter of whatever political party you are part of (Democrats, Greens-and don't be so sure that you won't find some responsive voices even among Republicans), by local unions and churches and synagogues and mosques and ashrams, by social change groups involved in peace, justice, civil liberties, and human rights work, by civic organizations and neighborhood associations, by prominent and respected local personalities and educators, and by people seeking elected office (let them know if they want your vote in November that you want them to sign on to this or some version that raises these points that you yourself construct in accord with what you think will work in your locale). Finally, try to get locally elected officials to pass it as a resolution in your city council or county government or state legislature (or, if they won't, try to collect signatures to put this on the local ballot for a direct vote). It will be a wonderful way to create a local conversation that is really needed.Rabbi Michael Lerner is the editor of Tikkun magazine and the author of Jewish Renewal: A Path to Health and Transformation (HarperCollins). He is the rabbi at Beyt Tikkun synagogue in San Francisco. He also invites readers of this article to consider joining The Tikkun Community--for non-Jews as well as Jews, and co-chaired by Lerner and by Cornel West (African American Studies at Princeton) and Susannah Heschel (chair of Jewish Studies Dartmouth). The Tikkun Community is a progressive pro-Israel alternative to the pro-Ariel-Sharon crowd, but also an alternative to those whose correct criticisms of Israel sometimes slips into anti-Semitism or demeaning of Israel.
