Update on this:
I found a cool writer to work with and the first essay will be on some of the lessons I’ve learned about sustainability from my experience in organizing + dealing with PTSD + not letting organzing take over my life and kill the things l love.
I’m really focused on doing this right instead of quick- so I would hope to have this out in a month or so but it could take longer because I’ll be sharing it with a lot of other organizers and friends to help edit/suggest.
I don’t want to just write for the sake of writing I want to actually say something and if that take a month or two or three so be it
If you all have suggestions for where to publish it like online let me know.

Oppose us for as long as you want- we’re going to outlive you and replace everyone of you in every state legislature, the halls of congress and every court- we’re going to win

All because have the most important thing most of those that oppose us don’t have.

Time.
Ask yourselves in the history books we will write about you how do you want to be remembered?

Weak and corrupt people that worked to protect people like the 19 year old that killed my classmates and teachers OR as people that protect our kids and teachers right to not be shot?
Time is a big advantage but by itself is not enough for us to win- it will take a truly awesome amount of energy, sacrifice and passion but so long as we keep trying and don’t lose hope we will win.

Meeting with my Rep this morning to talk about this- will keep you all updated.
Turns out there was a bill around this that passed the state house a couple years ago but then died in the Senate. They were going to work on it again in 2019/2020 but then Covid hit and that was the primary focus-
There is now a new effort to get a bill through around the same issue and once I have the name of that bill and the ways that Massachusetts state residence can support it I will let you all know

This is just my own opinion-

I’ve spent a lot of time over the past near 4 years thinking about major obstacles I’ve noticed in progressive organizing currently and through out the 20th century (from research on social movements for my classes). Here are a few of the main ones
#1 The movement not taking care of itself and by that I mean the organizers not taking care of themselves. People acting as if a social movement is a campaign with a quick sprit and finish line and not an ultra marathon with no clear finish line.
#2 the orgs not having any hierarchy and being too horizontal resulting in attempts to make everyone happy ending up with no one being happy. The orgs that had a much more strict structure consistently outlasted the ones that didn’t in the 20th century.

In case you didn’t hear today it was confirmed the last US strike in the Afghanistan war killed an aid worker and his family- including up to 7 children

A horrific failure at every level that killed innocent civilians and children with a bomb we paid for.
Gen. Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff “Declined to comment as to whether anyone will be disciplined over the strike, noting that the investigation is ongoing. "I have nothing for you now because that involves personnel issues," McKenzie said.”

I’m testing something-

Second amendment
I’m trying to figure out what triggers the IRA accounts- like if it’s just a word or phrase/phrases that triggers a response or if they have like some more sophisticated system with AI similar to GTP-3 or actual people
I meant GPT -3
