Thank you. History can give us hope and it can give us direction. You have shown this in this video. And you have shown us, reflected to us, where we are in our own moment. You point us toward what could be our next best steps. I have grown weary of being against the greater of two evils and have spoken to my representatives asking them what are you FOR? I am curious about how forging the defining vision for what we are for and the organization to unite us in that vision....how that can happen. Again, thank you.
Very moving both in video and words. The history is there for all to remember or learn. My young father was a proud member of The Civilian Conservation Corp in 1935 when he was 18 yrs. old and floundering to find a place in society. Until the day he died in 1980, he told his stories about his service and even took us to the Forrests he had worked to populate with trees. This is powerful, Mary! I will share it with the intent of keeping our masses informed and still "on duty " to reimagine and rework the country we love.
This should be seen by everybody out here who is hurting and frustrated by our seemingly lack of pushback and here you say: carpe momentum, bitches. I read Shakespeare and marvel at the modern relevance of his stories: Richard III was a maniac, yes, but all the royals and their parasites are, by degrees, monsters as well. Julius Caesar's ego brought him down, even his bestie takes a stab for politically expediency. The Macbeth family oozed with greed and hungered for power by any means necessary. We don't change. So looking at lessons from history - and not ancient history by any means - is smart. Do what the victor's did. Don't do what the losers did. You boil that down and I get a little bit excited that we can take them down completely if we are smart, strategic and fierce. Imma watch it again.
Congratulations. Brilliantly done and a voice which is easy to listen to. While cleaning shrimp I tried to listen to a woman, on Bulwark, and her frequent upspeak made me shift to music. Too bad, it was a subject I was interested in: Gender and generational differences.
It’s so hard to get a positive consensus. So easy to articulate what you’re against. Mamdani did a brilliant job of breaking that pattern. Bernie and Eliz Warren, too.
Powerful video! Love the clearly put together history and the images. Labor, climate activists, human rights and immigration activists will all need to pull together. I went to Maxine Dexter's town hall this morning in Portland. She spoke forcefully and strongly about how we need to keep building community and standing up for the most vulnerable during these chaotic months/years of darkness.
I have chills! “People keep asking, Who will lead our uprising? The better question is, What conditions will allow leadership to emerge? …Trust…built in the trenches.” ❤️❤️❤️

Excellent use of video to convey the message of history.
