organize. centralize. revitalize.

Shoutout and BIG love to every­one who went to their first protest this week­end. We’re so hap­py you’re here. WEL­COME. We need you. 

There are some pro­to­cols for some things out on the protest lines. 

Those prac­tices are to keep each oth­er safe. Keep your ears, mind, and heart open to the guid­ance that some of the more prac­ticed folks are giv­ing you re­gard­ing what to wear, where to stand, how to re­spond to cer­tain ac­tions by po­lice or oth­er pro­tes­tors. Your com­mu­ni­ty has lead­ers. Your job as some­one new to the move­ment is to stay hum­ble, find them, and make sure they have coffee. ❤

For those of us who have been here a while … Don’t do that fkn thing. 

You know … The woke olympics … where we start over­ly crit­i­ciz­ing the ones who just ar­rived for not know­ing every­thing we know. 

Teach with love and hu­mil­i­ty. One on one. No one needs to be killed in their com­ment sec­tion be­cause they’re learn­ing. We need num­bers and the virtue sig­nal­ing is­n’t ac­tu­al­ly helping. 

And it’s always
           ::looks at white skin::
us. We have this thing where we car­ry so much harm done in our DNA and some of us are called so strong­ly to be a coun­ter­weight to that oppression. 

That’s hon­or­able. That’s heart. Just watch for your ego. 

We can’t al­ways see it and not only will it trip you up, it will cause your weight to fall on the fam with less priv­i­lege if peo­ple get turned off to the move­ment be­cause of your egoic actions. 

“Com­pas­sion is an un­sta­ble emo­tion. It needs to be trans­lat­ed into ac­tion, or it withers.”
—Su­san Sontag

Or­ga­nize. Cen­tral­ize. (And re­mem­ber to) Re­vi­tal­ize.

I love you and you can’t do $%!? about it.
