“Let us be clear: we want the power of the state. We wish to hold the criminals of the regime accountable. We wish to seize back the public funds looted by Trump and his cronies. We wish to undo the damage he has done to the government. More than any of that we wish to rebuild.”
From Powerlessness to Power
We will not achieve any of our ultimate goals without exercising state power, and the most effective way to take state power is through nonviolent but confrontational resistance.

For those using narratives to fight the awfulness of today’s policies: if it’s something a white supremacist would say, it’s probably problematic and anti - Black. Think deeply how the strain of what you say may relate to historical narratives
