Demonstrations and marches are important and have their place. They signal urgency, solidarity, and demand attention. But if the goal is real change, relying solely on them while expecting different results isn’t strategy; it’s ritual. True power isn’t just in being seen. It’s in being embedded. Sustainable change comes from interwoven, real-world connections, built neighborhood by neighborhood, relationship by relationship._ Start coordinating check-ins in your neighborhood, on your apartment floor, in your building. Especially among those experiencing economic hardship or houselessness—not as an aggressive action, but as a way to strengthen community. Do you have a neighbor who likes to make soup? Do you have another neighbor who needs soup? Someone who bakes bread, and someone who loves bread? Let’s help each other make warm connections._ We have allies everywhere. We need to give them the opportunity to do their important work in very difficult environments. There is a time to push, and there is a time to pull. We have brothers and sisters stuck behind different colored lines of varying thickness who need intelligent and empathetic help in building conversations and connections with individuals and families who have been discarded by others and become overly indoctrinated among fascist ideologies._ Let’s help everyone.
