Just a quick note to let you know that I’ve been on an anti-fascista tour of the East Coast, spending time with some of the bravest people in the world. We are going to be okay. But there is no room for hanging on the sidelines. Everyone who is anti-fascist is going to have to participate in the defeat of organized crime — criminals are calling themselves many things, but at their root, we are being subjected to the escalating brutality of transnational organized crime being delivered and obfuscated through proxies and proxy wars.
I am unable to write about my travels just yet, because every time I put fingers to typer, I get watery stuff in my eyes.
I am so grateful to the brave and beautiful people who do the work of fighting the fascist creep mostly with no resources — just with heart and moxie and passion and brilliance and an awareness of what happens when people obey in advance. We are organizing, and networking, and not waiting for superman, because he ain’t coming. These are human rights that must be saved.
We are going to need support. We have no billionaire backers underwriting our activism. We rely on donations, subscriptions, patreons. But victory will be that much sweeter.
We will be writing the history books of that time the people came together and determined their destiny — that defeating the next fascist wave would be their legacy.
We continue to march.
