Can we talk about it yet?
How so much movement work and energy gets co-opted by electoral politics (and I participated and facilitated in this)? Can we talk about how those who enter these spaces and try to take their principles with them get eaten alive?

I wish I could vote for @sarahjama.bsky.social - she is someone who is doing politics differently. Not mindlessly towing the party line, rather listening and responding to constituents and their needs. She’s a fierce and powerful antidote for the politics of oppression and dehumanization.

So much gratitude & appreciation for knowing there are people like you, @sarahjama.bsky.social, who are unwavering in solidarity work with and for people who are subjected to structural oppression. Endless support for you, my friend. Your community in Hamilton Centre is lucky to have you.

I have a chance to do politics differently, that’s locally based, that’s not just about parroting what we’re told to parrot or reading what’s scripted, but really rooted in ideas that are coming from community.

Thanks Cable 14 for hosting the all-candidates debate!

It means so much to receive endorsements from two elementary teachers’ unions! Public educators need fair compensation and wage increases — after all, they carry the enormous responsibility of building the educational foundation of young people 1/2

We had such a busy day today! Multiple groups of canvassers spoke to voters across Hamilton Centre about advanced voting. 💜💛

Thank you to the mods of r/Hamilton for organizing the AMA I participated in. It’s so important to engage with everyone in community whether it’s online, at the doors, or at events. We need politics powered by people. See you around town!

We deserve a government that’s responsive, and we can invest in doing politics differently in a way that’s collaborative. I’ll continue to fight for human rights, for equity, for justice, together. 💜💛
