Over the summer of 2022, the world witnessed a series of breathtaking images captured by NASA, illuminating the cosmos in an exciting new way. Stars, galaxies, planets, and nebulae, each at their own stages of life, death, or rebirth, came into sharp focus, unfurling before us as a reminder of the vastness and wonder of our universe. For many of us, the images were an invitation to consider our own place within this rich tapestry of energy and matter. What worlds are we building to contribute to this grand design – and in what ways will those worlds center the accountability, care, and awe we all deserve to live with?

Our world-building is as rooted in ending war, abolishing carceral structures, and divesting from the state as it is in building new pathways toward healing, co-creating new models of safety, and deepening our connection and vigilant love for one another.

Here at Vigilant Love, we want to continue fostering cosmic dreams with you all – and we need your help to keep doing that. Consider donating to us today so that we can continue worldbuilding together.
