ICYMI - this has to be the next step. No more pretending every rape/sex abuse “scandal” are un-related one-offs. Organizing survivors as a mass constituency makes sense for so many reasons.

What does it really mean if America "wins" AI?
We discuss this week on #BlockAndBuild
In 2022, President Biden signed the CHIPS Act into law; an over $50 Billion reinvestment into domestic semiconductor manufacturing. Chips Communities United seeks to ensure that investment benefits workers and keeps communities safe. We discuss this week on Block & Build.
Movement leaders often err either on the side of passivity, for fear of replicating painful dynamics, or power-hoarding, for fear of sharing authority. Instead of swinging from one to the other side of the pendulum, we can cultivate balance–together. Link in bio and at Convergence Mag.
Are electoral politics a dead end for socialists? Is it possible for an elected socialist to balance the needs of governance with the aims of the broader social movements that put them in power? This Convergence editorial by Max Elbaum explores these questions and more. Link in bio.

There are many forms of base-building power with which we're already quite familiar: as voter, worker, tenant, student, debtor.
But JoEllen Chernow asks: what do potential and actual forms of building power based on the identity of ✨survivor✨ look like?

Trying to take stock of 25 years post 9/11 has been hard but I really appreciated joining this conversation with Darakshan and Cayden on the Block & Build podcast, especially having an abolitionist lens to understanding the global and domestic war on terror and what that means for our work today.
“The closures of rural hospitals, reduced access to food stamps, and giveaways to tech billionaires will create fresh opportunities to scale mutual aid and neighborly resistance into sustained parallel institutions.”
Tracing the links from the early days of America's 25 year "War on Terror" to the authoritarian violence and detention wielded by today's administration. Full episode available now. Listen and subscribe wherever you listen to podcasts.
In this @convergencemag.com piece, @chandrarusso.bsky.social and Shawna McCown argue that data center resistance could build a lasting multiracial movement, but only if organizers name the political uses of racism that keep working people divided.
My newest piece with proud Appalachian organizer Shawna McCown in @convergencemag.com We argue that while data center resistance is winning many of its immediate fights, it can accomplish something bigger: building a multiracial movement of the many.

No Future Without Us is a research-to-action compass that asks what it would take for us to keep immigration organizers in the social movements they help build instead of burning them out. @convergencemag.com convergencemag.com/articles/how...
