This week has been a lot. Mercury is in retrograde,
everything is squaring everything and the DNC has been nothing
short of a carnival ride. Reconciling feelings of immense hope
with heartbreak and healthy skepticism has been a real mind
fuck.

And while I feel energized by the political possibility of this
moment, I fear that the All-American urge to prop up a single
politician and expect them to save us is not going to get us
where we need to go.

For centuries, institutions have tried to convince us that we
have no power - that we must settle for the status quo and accept
the reality we are living in. But author Kazu Haga reminds us
that we have to “cut through the delusion that we are powerless”
and realize that together we have the power to change our
conditions.

Organizing is how we take care of each other and shape the future
that we all deserve. It creates the conditions where more people
have the power to resist and create systems that take care of
everyone. It is the unofficial fourth branch of our government,
“we the people” that exercise our collective political power to
influence a politics of wellbeing that takes care of everyone.

We are all first responders on the front lines of our
shared future. But our work looks different based on our
location. We must ask ourselves “what is my role in the
revolution?” and remember that we are not the first and we are
not alone. To build the future that we all deserve, we must
embrace uncertainty and live into the questions together. There
is no blueprint for what comes next. There is just all of us
creating millions of beautiful experiments that reveal who we are
and what is possible.

We are coming together Friday, August 23rd (1EST/10PST) for
a post-DNC decompression. Hosted by our friends at The Working
Families Party
( [link removed] ) we will
explore what’s next, what’s at stake and what’s possible. This
powerful gathering led by adrienne maree brown, Maurice Mitchell,
Ash-lee Woodward Henderson and more will be a space for critical
reflection and strategy as we make meaning of this moment and
determine the best path forward. Everyone is welcome.
