  • Jean & Pat - In the Commons

    In the Stories of the Commons we hope to lift up stories of the commons by ordinary people who are doing extraordinary things. Read, Listen in, Share!

  • Pat Mulroy

    I find courage in the beautiful life I am living. I find courage in my family, my friends, the work of my heart. I love reading, exploring, being outside. I find beauty in the little things and getting quiet enough to experience them.

  • I believe in a world where everyone is free & equal. A human rights activist within the LGBTQ+ community, I am a person of faith who lives into hope. I am at home in nature, hiking mountains and being at the sea. Peace.
