🧵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.

The Tesla protests are working - so now it's time to increase the pressure.

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.

Protests are growing, but they aren't necessarily getting news coverage. There are a lot of reasons for this, but the takeaway is it's up to us to spread the word.

🧵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.
