In this emergency, I think it likely that we are going to need to pitch a very big tent and invite everyone in who doesn't want to live in a dictatorship... www.meditationsinanemergency.com/big-tents-an...

Where were they under the genocide that started 16 months ago and continues apace? What will they be contrite about; and will they apologize for not giving a shit when the foreign children were dying? There is a price for inclusion in these cases.

What's the guarantee that it won't just be an abandonment when the rich liberals and unaffecteds get some small victory they can hold onto and feel content stopping? What's the line? acknowledge they cannot stop once *they* feel better if it screws all others in the coalition? B/c it'll happen.

It is true that has happened many, many times.
I hope you can share some other good ideas for helping all of us.

That's an answer Rebecca Solnit and the ilk would need to provide, not an idea and program that distrustful other parties need to provide.

Research some groups organizing in your area -- maybe Indivisible or the DSA? If nothing else, connect with Authors Against Book Bans. Go with an open mind and a hot heart.

The route to a world with freedom and well-being for all is crafted pitch by pitch.
Don't let this crevasse swallow us all.

And don't think I am saying your rage and pain isn't important, that your injuries don't matter. You deserve to have all of that recognized and all those things recompensed.
You deserve to be fought for.
But first there must be a battle.
