yes, the collective WE is necessary.

but WE is made up of a bunch of YOUs.

This goes out to YOU
This goes out to YOU, and YOU, and YOU, and YOU
This goes out to YOU
This goes out to YOU
This goes out to YOU, and YOU, and YOU

once all those YOUs do something, then WE doing something...

to take action.

so put it back on YOU. what are YOU going to do? that's the energy that gets things done.

i've been in situations where i asked "what are WE gonna do" and i had to look around to see who was with me. it's frustrating when you're disappointed in what you see.

but when i asked myself, "what are YOU going to do", that led me to take action and do something. and once i did something, others saw and then they joined in and they did something.

action begets action

just wanted to be clear

i bristle whenever I hear someone lamenting a lack of "a leader"

i don't know anyone who has ever said "let me lead" vs someone who saying "i gotta do something" and others saying "i'm down"

my opinion: the second it breaks into a hierarchy the end is nigh

In response to Reply # 18


  

          

maybe they are.

it's not the best course of action, but riots have their place. if nothing else, it gets alot of attention.

the problems we face are so big that no one approach is gonna solve them.

so imma need Mookie to throw the trasn can through Sal's window and set shit off.

i need somebody standing in front of city hall holding up signs and chanting.

i need people working with the youth & the homeless & unemployed.

we need people holding influential positions of power to affect change from the inside.

all of this has to happen. no one approach is gonna fix things. all this stuff is necessary.

even the riots...

21. "here's something i do alot:"
In response to Reply # 20


  

          

you get your friends & family to donate or contribute money to buy the stuff that you put in blessing bags:

toothpaste
deodorant
toothbrush
gloves
socks
handwarmers
cheese crackers
lotion
stuff like that

then y'all get zip lock bags and put one of each into the bags. once you're made up a bunch of bags, you hit the streets and find a spot where people who need that typa stuff hang out.

set up a table. maybe play some music.

oh, and you gotta have food.

so the easiest food are sandwiches. i go with turkey because it accomodates the no pork on my fork crowd.

folks line up and come through. they get a sandwich and a bag.

you've just done some good in the hood.

i did it just last week. we partnered with another organization and they even brought hot food. we passed out cups of chili and chicken noodle soup.

anything you do helps

Mobilize people in large numbers to vote people out of office that refuse to acknowledge our goals. When they push to suppress our vote embarrass them globally by documenting their actions.

Pass on our mission, knowledge, and skills to the youth as we fight this tough battle.

Join organizations of varying sizes and use our platforms to further our interests overtly or covertly.

Punish corporations by shaming them and building momentum that forces them to alter their stance or face financial consequences.

Protesting works as well.

No empathy for white misery (c) BDot
