That’s how many times between 1947 and 1989, the US via the CIA tried to change other nations’ governments through by covertly funding campaigns, supporting information warfare through propaganda campaigns, and the often violent assignation of democratically elected leaders.

Keep in mind those are only the times that we know about, think about all the stuff we never will.
I wonder which list I have been added on now. 😂 😐

Young people can stage a nonviolent political revolution over the coming decade but it will require all of us voting in consistently high # EVERY election, protesting, organizing and running for office and most importantly the persistence, love and community to overcome setbacks
To do so we must all practice the humility, kindness and grace to be the political leaders we need to be in order to create such change.
We must not fall for the slander espoused by those in power that says violence will solve our problems, they only say that so they can have an excuse to grow their authoritarianism.

I have seen how violence and hate destroys lives and communities- it is not the answer.

We may have lost the Supreme Court for a generation but it’s up to our generation to start to fix our racist electoral systems and our increasingly partisan judicial systems.

We must elect and be the people that support these reforms so everyone has an = voice in our government
The American people are losing their faith in an electoral system that fails to represent us equally because many of us live in a high population state.

We must build a truly democratic system of government that creates universal suffrage and equal representation for all of us.
The only way we can do this will be through decades of consistently high voting, protesting, organizing, running for office and more to be the change we need.

We must not lose faith because one, two or more elections will not solve this- it will take many but change will come.

In case it hasn’t been made clear yet by the 78 year old that is about to decide the entire future of our generation-

The “adults” in power are never going to give a fuck about young people until we force them to by voting & running against them to be the actual adults we need
Kids are being killed on their way to class and there way to school because the “adults” would rather protect the NRA than our fucking kids.

California is on fire because politicians would rather protect the oil cartel then our planet

It’s time to vote out these fucking idiots.
Our generation needs to be a generation of the leaders that we needed but for the next generation.

When our kids are dying on a daily basis from gun violence and climate change threatens to kill our species it’s not time to debate things it’s time to fucking do something.

Given the fires out west-
I don’t know why I haven’t heard @JoeBiden and @KamalaHarris talking way more about how they have an actual climate plan and want to keep us in the Paris Climate Agreement unlike the current president.

joebiden.com/climate-plan/#
If they want to have the highest youth turnout they should highlight that unlike the current president they have an actual plan to address the existential threat that climate change is to young people.

But in order for young people to know that they gotta talk about it!
Shout out to @sunrisemvmt for pushing to make the plan better

“We’ve seen a pretty huge transformation in Biden’s climate plan,” said Varshini Prakash, co-founder and ED.[] While stopping short of a formal endorsement, Sunrise will now campaign for Biden, @VarshPrakash said.”

Just wanted to highlight some work MFOL is doing for the upcoming election. This happened yesterday in Atlanta by our organizers and some local artists!

The artists were incredible, check out some of the boxes. If you’re in Atlanta and see one, grab a form and get registered/request your vote by mail ballot! Make sure to tag me and @AMarch4OurLives, or tag us on Instagram. Women holding boxMan holding boxMultiple voter reg boxes on...
This is part of #OurPower in the States, a @AMarch4OurLives initiative where we’re working with artists in key states across the nation to talk about the issues young people care about. Each art activation is paired with a digital event featuring partners.

Abolition of police explained by 7 activist and scholars.

I recommend reading this to learn more about some of the different philosophies around abolition.

vox.com/policy-and-pol…
“This does not mean that when you dial 911 there won’t be someone to respond to your emergency; it means that the right person will respond with the right skills and tools to provide the care needed. “ @MsheeksMN
“By “abolish the police,” I mean building a world where we do not rely on anti-Black, white supremacist institutions of order to regulate society.“

- Jenn Jackson, political scientist, Syracuse University
