We aren't anywhere near the idea of perfect revolution, people are still caught up with perfect action planning, perfect rallys, perfect protests, perfect meetings! So many people over think the most basic stuff, it comes from a good place, but it usually leads to impotence.

"Golly gee, our org is so terribly white, that means we can never organize around or make a statement regarding black issues. What if we get something wrong and someone calls us out?" and then the group proceeds to do nothing

That's the type of shit I hear damn near every single time I'm in an irl organizing space. That's where the "radical left" is in my area. I know you all have dealt with it too.

You gotta use the information and experience you have to the best of your abilities and move forward. Doing something imperfect will get you far more community respect than doing nothing.

Thanks I've actually practiced a lot, finally learning to write properly in my 30s, you can too!

I used an old sign writers manual from the 1960s to practice strokes, if you're looking for a new hobby I'd highly encourage it, being able to bang out a nice protest sign in 10 minutes is a good feeling

I did however draw this with my finger on my phone screen lol

Realized it was too much effort after the first two words, said "fuck it", then shat the rest out.
