The Answer to Trump’s Victory Is Radical Action

I definitely don’t agree with everything in this article, but:

«There’s no one way to plug in to today’s interconnected struggles. The Palestine solidarity movement, which also challenges U.S. hegemony and colonial power structures, is a rich terrain for culture workers, researchers, and workers of all trades — not only students and professors. Those on the front lines ensuring continued access to abortions and trans health care are always in need of greater support. If you’re a tenant, you could join or organize a tenants union; if you’re a worker, even precariously employed, there’s always room to join or build upon unionization and organizing efforts. Mutual aid groups abound in every city. Local governments nationwide are building cop cities in need of fierce opposition.

I left my great friend’s apartment late on Tuesday night, heavy-hearted but unsurprised that Trump would likely return to power. I first met this friend during Occupy too. “We’re not starting from scratch,” she reminded me, as we hugged goodbye. Movement politics — long and painfully aware that there can be no robust reliance on the Democratic mainstream — is where we must turn and further build.

We are not starting from scratch.»
