Becca Heller, IRAP Founder, published an important opinion piece on @thehill.com, recalling lessons learned from the first Trump administration's Muslim ban and how to fight back against his latest slew of heinous policies.

Awesome succinct list of strategies for effective organizing. Lists like these remind me of how things I am already doing can be shaped into praxis, when it is easy to feel like I need to be doing something dramatically different to effect change. open.substack.com/pub/antiauth...

It’s a fun problem to have though - I’m thinking of it as a field of dreams kind of opportunity. If I post about what I’m inspired by, thinking about, creating, etc., perhaps connections will arise around those things? Or perhaps it can be a public-facing journal or sketchpad to develop ideas?
