2 months agoMy org got pulled from the speaker list of a TDOV event explicitly because we were going to call out Democratic inaction on trans issues. It sucks, but I always hope situations like this push people towards more narrowly targeted actions that are organized by socialists and labor instead of these coalition-based mass demonstrations.
Protest where I’m at was much bigger than I was anticipating for a short notice action on a weekday.
I have a pet theory that a lot of Americans, including unorganized folks, really crave that sense of revolutionary freedom that was in the air during summer of 2020, and I think it’s easy to see potential for that in LA. Though how far any of this goes is hard to judge from where we’re standing now.
