Our path forward starts with great leadership. That’s why we are focused on electing @benwikler.bsky.social as DNC chair. He's committed to a 50 state, year-round strategy to win back the working class & empower grassroots orgs - just like he did in Wisconsin.

Wisdom for these times.
Collective Survival, Adaptation and Direct Action

A reminder that we must resist the myth that if we hide, we will be safe.

It doesn't work that way. Fascism won't ignore us if we're quiet.
