What might the demands of such a campaign be? I can imagine a long list. Some of these may seem unrealistic but why not push the overton window? Frankly, fuck capitalism. We're in the middle of a capitalist backed fascist take-over and a climate emergency.

- Immediate cancellation of contracts with any military, intelligence, or security agency in any nation
- Immediate cancellation of contracts with ICE and DHS specifically
- Unionization where none exists
- Agreements to worker and citizen advisory councils to begin a process of auditing and oversight. What??? Yeah. Push it as far as possible from the exclusive focus on profit at the expense of the public good to a worker-citizen based process.

WE STOP ASKING. stop pretending we have no power. Fuck this begging of political parties that are bought and paid for. We build towards a series of General Strikes and an ongoing boycott.

The love and #resistance energy we see in Minneapolis but
EVERYWHERE. #GeneralStrike #Solidarity

This is not about getting back to some previous normal. The previous normal was too shit to return to. We've known for awhile that the core was weakening, that it was rotting, that we were neglecting it. This is about building something new.

We use the crisis they are causing against them. We use their attempt to subjugate us against them. Like our loving brothers and sisters in MN we extend our empathy outward, we embrace one another and build action based in solidarity and love.

Our future should not be about what we can tuck behind a picket fence and in a two car garage in a comfortable middle class suburban home.

Our future is our resistance to their attempts to subjugate us. Our future is our resistance to their attempt to make us afraid.

Our future is our ability to confront our long history of genocide, subjugation, white supremacy and injustice. This crisis is an opportunity for transformation. They started something that we should finish.
