Almost all of the injustices we’re fighting against today were always there.

But for many, the disruptions caused by the pandemic broke the spell of business-as-usual complacency & capitalism's rat-race exhaustion.

This is a critical moment for radical consciousness-raising 1/6

People are looking for answers to why their lives are so full of pain, anxiety, alienation, injustice, & oppression.

Now is the time to connect the dots of those lived experiences with their true *systematic* sources: capitalism, racism, sexism, homophobia, etc. 2/6

The right-wing is exploiting the crisis to pull people into their web of false targets: immigrants, ‘deep state,’ etc. anything & everything but the true sources:

The institutions that benefit the wealthy & powerful at the expense of everyone else. 3/6

We’re living through a historical moment ripe for radical change.

Façades are cracking as the pandemic exposes layers of structural injustice everywhere.

This is our moment to draw ever more people to the left. 4/6

We can’t win a better world without a critical mass of people willing to fight for it.

And we can’t grow a critical mass without reaching outside our social bubbles & comfort zones and raising consciousness. 5/6

To win, we must build solidarity by connecting ALL oppressions - since in reality, all oppressions ARE connected & true liberation requires the liberation of all ❤️ 6/6
