Systemic obstacles
Survival…
It’s difficult to survive in this capitalist world while also full time organizing. We all need to pay rent and bills, feed and support our families, maintain and build our health. How can our grassroots leadership dedicate themselves to this work when they have to do a normal job to make enough money to survive?
Bureaucracy…
It’s hard to be autonomous in a system that wants to control us. We could lose our jobs for standing up to patriarchal abuse, or for calling out elected officials, or for confronting corporations. We need a different kind of nonprofit that values the wisdom and independence of the grassroots.
Safety…
It’s challenging to organize when the system inflicts trauma upon you. Our community organizers have experienced housing insecurity, violence from cops, and targeted media attacks. This work has considerable security concerns. The truth is, we cannot be safe without a solid community backing us up.
