In Remembrance of Tim Liszewski
Tim died of COVID-19 on March 28. He lived in Columbia, SC, where he worked as the Indivisible National Representative for SC and other states. He was 60 years old and recently married. Indivisible Beaufort steering committee, along with Lowcountry Indivisible and Sun City indivisible, had met with Tim here in Beaufort several months ago. He worked hard to get all the South Carolina Indivisible groups communicating and working toward the common goal of flipping the state. He had come to believe, as we do, that Senator Lindsey Graham is vulnerable and can be unseated and he helped all the Lowcountry groups toward that end. He made it possible for funds to be transferred from northern (blue) state Indivisible groups to assist in our work here. He was a lifelong political and civil rights activist and he will be missed.
Staying Engaged and Informed

The Peace of Wild Things
When despair grows in me
and I wake in the night at the least sound
in fear of what my life and my children's lives may be,
I go and lie down where the wood drake
rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.
I come into the peace of wild things
who do not tax their lives with forethought
of grief. I come into the presence of still water.
And I feel above me the day-blind stars
waiting for their light. For a time
I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.

Let's Go To The Movies!
When Austin, Texas, had to cancel this year's SXSW festival, many independent filmmakers lost the opportunity to share their vision with the world. With the help of Oscilloscope Labratories, Mailchimp (the software we use to produce this newsletter) created a digital home for this year's incredible slate of short films on Mailchimp Presents, so you can watch them - #supporttheshorts - from wherever you are.

Stay healthy dear friends!
"See" you next week.
