#onemillionrising yes....we all need to learn how to persuade folks we know to be more open to the idea of resisting...person to person persuasion is as important a skills a protesting!
#onemillionrising Yes Yes....Gene....we must learn how to talk to people we know!! that is a critical and underappreciated skilll in the resistance movement. if anyone wants to start a group on that, let me know.....most folks, especially white folks, know people who need to be reached
#onemillionrising zoom meeting at a capacity? a little disturbing...but a great problem to have!! Great sign for the movement!!!
#onemillionrising "We are fighting to make this country suck less"....speak on it Gene!!!
#onemillionrising This is what a rear guard action by white supremacy looks like. Yes, breaking all customs that help democracy...and at the suggestion of one fool. My hope is that we learn how to fight facism without becoming facistic ourselves. ...... WE STAND WITH YOU GENE!
