🧵At a protest near my town, I saw a woman weeping. She said she had been afraid to come out, and she was overwhelmed by how much support and connection she felt.
Small-town protests disrupt how people see their communities, which is crucial for large-scale change.

🧵On May 1, news broke that the Tesla board of directors was looking for a new CEO. Although that news was quickly denied by the board, the cracks are showing.

Grassroots movements are often criticized for lacking centralized leadership. But this is a good thing!
Decentralized movements are more adaptable and sustainable. But, we need to rethink what leadership looks like.

🧵First published in 1971, Rules for Radicals is a guide for organizers on how to build power. This book is controversial - there are many valid critiques of Alinsky's work, but it remains an important part of the leftist lexicon.

🧵 Is there an ICE facility near you? ICE includes a huge network of field offices, detention centers, and contractors.
All of these could be potential locations for protests, boycotts, or other types of creative, nonviolent civil disobedience.

🧵Is anyone else excited? There are over 1,000 protests planned for April 5 - it's gonna be big.
With all this energy building up, it's a great time to look at momentum-based organizing and how to channel momentum into long-term results.

Every Tesla showroom deserves its own protest.
We're seeing A TON of enthusiasm for the #teslatakedown GLOBAL DAY OF ACTION. We're going to start highlighting showrooms that need a host. If you know someone near any of these locations, will you reach out and encourage them to host an action? We'll even have trainings next week for new hosts! 🧵
