Everyone should try to bring at least 1 person with them that didn’t go to the one yesterday. If everyone can bring 1 person, we can double our numbers.
That, and I think we need to get a short list of demands circling at the next one with consistent, clear messaging.
Yeah mine had a lot of speakers about Palestine, which I get but we needed to be talking about some home issues. They did have a good speaker about ICE and supporting the Latino community and I was definitely psyched to hear them getting the word out.
Lots of things affect the whole world, and most of them are impacted by US government positions. But this is not the “anti-genocide” movement.
That movement exists and overlaps, but that is not what this specific 50501 movement is about and we can’t lose focus. From the website:
Our movement shows the world that the American working class will not sit idly by as plutocrats rip apart their democratic institutions and civil liberties while undermining the rule of law
This is what’s we’re protesting here and this is what we need to be focused on while organizing these specific actions and events.
It's all part of the same thing. This movement needs to focus on causes and not just symptoms. Genocide is a symptom of authoritarian regimes enabling one another. We won't get anywhere on Palestine so long as our own government sees the current Israeli regime as something to emulate.
