@schlemieli We have been using mix of Action Network and Broadstripes. CADBI has used hubspot which is free and manages contact info pretty well but I don’t think does email blasts
Wrote a real personal article about drug overdoses. In 2000, 17,000 Americans died of overdoses. In 2021, that number was 100,000.

@maya_ramakr I think there is also a big difference between advocacy orgs "using" youth voices when convenient, and movement organizations that train and support young people to meaningfully lead and take action on issues that impact them. Young people have led movements through history
@awkward_duck Definitely @thisistherev ! Hosted by @ThisIsRevShow , uses pop culture purpose of to educate on revolutionary strategy, theory, tactics, and analysis.
A little late but worth reading:
[Movements] are training grounds for what comes next, practice for new generations finding their footing on political terrain. Movements can redefine how political parties speak, and how future organizations wage struggle.

@Strongestaven16@jftaveira1993@ThisIsRevShow Black people also get killed by police much more often than white people. One of the main points I read in the article is that women of color go missing and get killed by abusers more frequently than white women, but get significantly less (if any) media coverage.
Philly Friends!
Incarcerated folks and their supporters organized this event 17th for Tyon, a pillar of the incarcerated Islamic community in PA. Are you free on October 17th to support a freedom campaign?
Police, prisons, prosecutors, courts cannot address, stop, or prevent this harm. They perpetuate it. And treating rape and incest as special exceptions to who should get an abortion obscures the broader, patriarchal society under which people become pregnant in the first place.
I also consider all who become pregnant due to less spectacular forms of violence. People who initiate sex that they don’t want to avoid fights about it later. Those who are violated while asleep and never know what happened. Those told they must be submissive to be good wives
2021 continues to be a master class in Ruth Gilmore’s concept of “organized abandonment” i.e. the decades-long project of disinvestment in life-giving systems (healthcare, housing, education, etc) and investment in death-dealing ones (policing, incarceration, surveillance, etc).
Trump taps into generalized economic anxiety and generalized anger at the top, but instead of calling out culpable economic actors at the tippy top—or the consolidation of wealth and power by a very few)—he channels these sentiments into rage at cultural elites.
Class rage is a powerful tool.
But most Dem politicians & operatives:
1) are so class-insulated they don't know how to tap into it;
2) are afraid of the GOP accusation of 'class warfare';
3) are aligned with the economic forces they would need to target to do it effectively.
