🧵 As we race towards the end of a really tough year I thought I’d do a thread for the campaigners - the people who believe we can organise our way past any problem. We’re normally right and that’s both our superpower and our greatest weakness. This year we hit a wall. Hard. I don’t think the activist community gave ourselves a whole heap of time to process, we just got to work. I love us for it, but if you’re trying to carve out some time to think about the year and campaigns ahead here are some resources and reflections in the hope they help.
