Wow. I really, really agree with your post.
Demonstrating and direct action is something I tend to leave off my list. I honestly forget about it some of the time. It’s not that I haven’t participated in direct action. I have.
It’s your point that we communities need other help to sustain and reproduce their lives … even to identify as community members instead of consumers or transient, dissociated refugees of other places and groups.
And how? From day to day, what are practices which safely engage and sustain each other? For me, that’s a more fundamental question.
