Mountain Women Move Mountains, working meeting. April 2nd.

Thank you to everyone who participated in a No KIngs Day event. We had a good turn-out for the Visibility Brigade at 46 and 119. Including Don Eaton, a 101- year old WWII veteran (turning 102 in May!) who joined us and stayed for several hours. 
I have a couple different actions for Thursday...mostly centered around the SAVE act and protecting voting rights. I would also like to send some "Thank You" cards to the three House Representatives who introduced the Fight Book Bans Act. 
Please bring along any ideas you have for actions (along with the necessary stamps, script,information etc...). 
I received this forwarded email: 

                               Fwd: If We Want to Fight Back, We Need Counterpower

 | The game has changed and our strategy has to change with it. The opening is over. Now comes the long middle fight.
  |  We need to stop lying to people about the scale mismatch.  For fifteen months, Americans have been told that if they stay informed, shop ethically, call their representatives, attend the right meeting, support the right nonprofit, build enough community, and keep posting hard enough, they are doing something. But the regime is not moving at the scale of civic virtue. It is moving at the scale of state power: staffing, budgets, courts, procurement, enforcement, databases, contracts, armed force, administrative capture, wars, purges, propaganda. The authoritarian machine is not running because people do not know about it. It is running because one side has power. And as Cersei made clear in Game of Thrones, knowledge alone is not power. “Power is power.”  That is why so much of what gets called resistance now feels inadequate to the moment. Not because people are cowards or lazy, but because they are being handed advice designed for moral self-respect, not for winning. The hard part to hear: individual acts are not enough, and people know it.  What matters now is not individual virtue. It is counter-power. Not “how do I be good,” but “how do enough people become hard to govern, hard to silence, hard to pick off, and hard to replace?”  What matters now is building pressure at the five points where the regime is still vulnerable: organized labor that can disrupt the economy, people inside institutions who refuse compliance, state and local officials willing to create real conflict, protection networks that keep targeted people from being isolated and mass noncooperation large enough to make normal governance impossible. Time to get to work.

Peace,
Gussie
