GENERATIONS DAY or OTHER TIMES DAY July 31st / holiday

generations day is a day for nurturing a relationship with someone or something from another time. Rather than honoring country, creed, role, or demographic, generations day is about giving energy to a relationship with the past or the future. It’s about identifying the ways that other times are seeded in our present moment. 

As subjects living in a capitalist society, with its unyielding emphasis on individualism, we have been stripped of so many forms of connection to our pasts and haven’t grown the habitual ability to understand how our actions continually affect the shape of the future. generations day or other times day is an opportunity to become aware of how we came to be in our specific here and now and to fasten ourselves more strongly to another time.
