@NickPinkston No, I think that’s newer than mine, which is https://t.co/B3tXpRu2HI. And the yimby work is in my home community of Cape Cod but I do work elsewhere. Housing stability work is statewide. Personal handle is @StefCoxe

@NickPinkston Wanted to distinguish between some not-so-effective advice on activism & what I’ve seen work in the halls of state, local, and federal govt. (Tho account is woefully out of date while I’ve been absorbed in advocating for both yimby policies and keeping folks housed in pandemic.)

7/ We need to listen to black and brown voices - on the streets, on social media, and on the ballot box and in the committee hearing rooms of our legislative process.

Let's be 100% clear: what happened to George Floyd and so many other Americans of color is wrong. It is unacceptable. It is wrong and sad that it has taken so many deaths to *hopefully* begin to turn the tide. 1/

6/ We must do better. As I retool my trainings to better reflect this reality, I welcome and thank you for any feedback that could help ensure activism is viewed from the lens of all perspectives.

At some point protests dwindle, so we need to commit to staying engaged. - Pres. @BarackObama

There are over 19,000 municipalities where reforms governing police need to take place. So advocacy needs to take place in collective bargaining agreements with police unions and in local elections. - Pres @BarackObama

This week's theme: credibility in politics. Focusing in on one or two "buckets" rather than being all over the place (ex. opposing EVERYTHING one party supports) shows you're serious and focused; that you'll pay attention to the outcome of a request. #activism #advocacy

[Effective Activism @learntolobby]

Why is credibility critical in politics? Because it insulates you from being dismissed. Lose it and it's easy to write you off, whether you're an activist, lawmaker, or non-profit leader. #activismtips #advocacy #learntolobby #activism

[Effective Activism @learntolobby]

The one thing you have in politics is credibility. Lose it and no one will believe you/trust you/want to work with you again. #learntolobby #advocacy #ADVOCACYWEDNESDAY #mapoli

The HIV/Aging team I mentored through @FenwayHealth @aidsaction Activist Academy really took to heart one of my lessons from Advocacy 101 training: don't ask for a pony. So much so they included it in their presentation on #worldAIDSday2019! ❤️ #mapoli #activism #advocacy
