In the last two years, we’ve learned that #resistance means getting involved at all levels of government. Our members have doorknocked with @swingleft, lobbied for police demilitarization in Sacramento, met often with Congressional staff and rallied for #FamiliesBelongTogether 1/
Our members are working at the state level to craft new gun control legislation and organizing at the City level for a #publicbank. We continue to pressure @SpeakerPelosi and @SenFeinstein to sign onto the #GreenNewDeal. We want #Medicare4All and we won’t accept a racist wall. 2/
In the last two years, we’ve organized countless phone banks, text banks and postcard campaigns. We’ve learned about burnout. We also learned how crucial it is to amplify the voices of organizations that have been around and in the trenches far longer than we. 3/
Perhaps the most fundamental lesson we’ve learned is to listen first to those who would be most affected. We stand with Senior and Disability Action, the @TheCoalitionSF, @ACLU_NorCal and many other organizations in opposing @LondonBreed’s new conservatorship law. /4
As we stand with immigrants and refugees, we expect the homeless population in our own City to be treated with dignity. So we joined @DSA_SF, @sfberniecrats, @GLIDEsf, @TheCoalitionSF demanding that the City #StopTheSweeps. Homelessness is not a crime. /5
The #resistance is about so much more than Trump. But the daily work of phone calls still matter. Have you called Members of Congress today? No boots, no beds, no racist wall. /6 indivisiblesf.org/call-your-reps
