I will never forget the We Wanted A Revolution exhibit. One of the best that Brooklyn Museum has ever put on
I saw Dindga McCannon speaking on a panel with Barabara and Beverly Smith as part of the "We Wanted A Revolution" exhibit.
I still think about it. So much knowledge. So many great stories. And there were women from Kitchen Table and Combahee in the audience who shared stories. Amazing.

Advice like this is really so important in a world where we are increasingly disconnected from our neighbors.
To everyone not in Minnesota who wants to know how to prepare for an invasion like ours:
The 1st thing is to be able to contact your neighbors w/o going out your door.
So start that by going out your door.
Deliberately meet them & get their names & #s & give them yours.
