A Texas man who kidnapped a 13-year-old girl in San Antonio and sexually assaulted her multiple times while driving her to Southern California last year pleaded guilty to a federal kidnapping charge Friday as part of a plea agreement, the US Attorney’s Office for the Central District of California said.
Steven Robert Sablan, 62, abducted the girl at gunpoint on or about July 6, 2023, in San Antonio and “engaged in sexual activity” with her while driving her to Long Beach, California, the plea agreement states.
“At the time of the crime, Sablan had no legal custody or familial relationship to the victim,” the US Attorney’s Office for the Central District of California said in a news release.
You are correct that work can be done without being a billionaire. However, to accomplish much I imagine it would have to become a full time job, at least for some people. Most of us can’t leave our jobs. And if it was going to be a part time endeavor, we might get more results joining an organization that already exists.
I haven’t kept up with the unitarians, but using them as an example you could probably work with them to accomplish some of these goals. You wouldn’t have to build everything from scratch. But you’d have to deal with the existing brand and legacy, so that’s a mixed bag.
Also, I would be hesitant to get too in bed with corporate interests. That could easily lead to enshittification, corruption of ideals, or just losing people because it feels corporate instead of spiritual. But I’m not experienced in running this sort of thing, so this is mostly guessing.
