Y'all pick a lane. Then make a little progress in your lane each day.
Every serious, experienced organizer I know is Doing Their Thing. Instead of freaking out about each bit of bad news, we're in our lanes rapidly building dual power infrastructure and networks that don't rely on the goverment.

1/ For the people who are asking: “Where are the protests?!” There have been many! Much of them organized by immigrants rights groups and leftists. Here’s a thread of some I have found, or know people who have attended. Feel free to add your own.

Hi all, We’re still here at OPM.
We have a situation where we MIGHT, and I do mean, MIGHT have four of Elon’s people blocked from the building.
Can we get press or a member of Congress down here? We’ve blocked them for two hours and they keep coming back and trying to go in.

I’m seeing folks shaming third-party voters & those who chose not to engage. With deep love & respect, that’s not the move. That kind of division only serves the systems we’re fighting against, & right now, we need to be uniting in every way we can. Stay focused. Start locally.

I am looking back at my memories from 2017 during this time because it was incredibly overwhelming then too. Even in the weight of it all, I remember how small, collective acts of resistance & care became our anchor. This was legendary, if you need a refresher: bit.ly/npr-rogue-na...

The options are endless but this is the point: no one is coming to save us. We have to do it ourselves.
This is also how we remake society. Because when people trust and care for eachother, and know they are cared for, they want leaders who do the same.

Organizing is on every one of us. It can be as small as checking in on your neighbors and creating an emergency phone tree if someone needs help. It can be identifying needs where you live and working with others to fill them. It can be a community pod that shares resources.

Sometimes when I talk to folks here I feel like people think “organizing” is a great charismatic leader rising from the left and telling everyone what to do and then creating a mass march in the streets that is a cathartic outpouring of emotion (but accomplishes nothing).
No.

Collective liberation comes from within our communities. No one is coming to rescue us. The power to create change lies in our hands. Here are some tangible ways & explorations reposted from @daylaborernetwork & @richmondstrike #collectivecare #liberation #mentalhealthispolitical #decolonize
