We’ve been organizing a broad base in Pennsylvania since the 2016 election. Today we’re mobilizing our community to rally for democracy and to count every vote.
My patience for this kind of bullshit from national organizations that are not accountable to a base has run out.
My patience for this kind of bullshit from national organizations that are not accountable to a base has run out.
We held actions in cities and towns all across Pennsylvania. They were disciplined with strategic popular messaging, tight visuals, and joyous crowds. Our actions generated good media coverage and helped shape the story.
I do think it was of utmost importance that our actions were disciplined and well-planned in this dangerous and precarious moment. But that’s exactly why so many of our organizations on the ground had been planning for strategic and disciplined actions for weeks.
If you’re positioning yourself as the convener and telling local and state organizations to use your platform for the actions we were already planning, you can’t pull the rug out from under us.
I’ve seen some botched national convenings in my 25 years of organizing, and this one may take the cake.
