Friend,
When I think about the specific political moment we’re in as a country,
there is something I keep coming back to.
The politics of fear – making people behave differently because they are
afraid – works through a specific mechanism. It makes people calculate
that engagement isn't worth the cost. That speaking up, or standing for
something, or even just staying visible carries too much risk. And the
more people make that calculation, the more the fear compounds. That's how
it's designed to work.
What I've found, though, in conversations across a lot of different places
over the past year, is that most people haven't given up. They're
frustrated, sometimes exhausted, but they're still paying attention, and
in more and more cases they are getting results. They expect leaders to
make a serious argument and treat them like they're capable of handling
it. And people have kept cultivating hope for a better future.
That's the opening. Not to match what's happening with something louder or
more reactive – but to lean into that hope, stay steady, stay present, and
keep forming a different kind of politics.
That's what Win the Era is trying to do. The people who choose to support
this work financially are key to sustaining that work – keeping us in the
spaces and the conversations where hope and action reinforce one another.
