“Organize” doesn’t mean you find out there’s a planned protest in a designated area away from everyone and surrounded by cops to make sure you’re contained. That’s performative.
Organize means building power from the ground up, knocking on doors, meeting in living rooms, cooking meals, making childcare plans, and finding the people in your community who are ready to fight and ready to love. It means strategizing together, planning direct actions that disrupt, not entertain power. It means understanding that the terrain of struggle isn’t just symbolic; it’s material. Streets, workplaces, campuses, and housing complexes become the front lines.
Organizing is about forming bonds that last beyond a single march, about mutual trust and shared risk. It’s not just about showing up, it’s about staying. It’s not a hashtag, it’s a commitment. It’s not consent to be managed, it’s consent to resist.
Yea you’re right people shouldn’t organize. They should give up instead.
Yeah that’s what I said.
