I found this article, 'Kindness and Activism', inspiring. I posted a comment, see below:
A lot of sense in this article, especially spelling out what it means to have a genuinely inclusive movement, that replaces antagonism with compassion, while maintaining the right to feel anger.
However, there are too many 'musts'. These processes cannot be predefined. I'm not sure what history can teach us since this is a totally new situation. And talking about holding political candidates to account sounds too much like tinkering with the same old system.
What binds us is kindness. Other than that we cannot know what we will need. I am in UK. Of course this needs to be international, so can't be based on a political party. What practical steps can we take to start this movement?
It is time for all the many organisations, communities, and individuals that are seeing the necessity for a change in ourselves and in the way we live, to link up together under one banner. Not to minimise the differences in approach and in details needed in different regions, and by different cultures. But by emphasising the common factors, to build a mass movement which can put pressure where it counts.
I am already making a list of organisations and individuals to approach, while admitting I am way out of my depth. But we have to start somewhere. I would like to take from your article all that will apply internationally, leaving out the specifics to do with the US. Are you in?
