Barber. I have allies in NC who keep us updated, and on the West coast, we are beginning to build similar movements in a different way - using those alliances to create structures for developing employee owned businesses. We are actually no less under the gun in CA - it's just far less obvious since there is no overt assault on voting rights or reproductive rights. We do have a war on the poor from our own governor who has seen his political advantage lying in placating the more affluent, developing (bad) large capital expenditure projects, and pretending to be a fiscal conservative which is accomplished by gutting programs for the poor. We won't use the same tactics, but we WILL use the same alliances to offer different options to those on welfare, immigrants, dislocated blue collar people, single mothers struggling with low wage jobs, unions, the faith community, students - whoever it takes. We draw huge inspiration from North Carolina, the Moral Mondays energy, and the focus on justice for all. We cannot thank them enough for their courage and leadership as they confront the feudalistic goals of rabid corporatism both private sector and public. Communities working together is the ONLY answer. Churchlady320noreply@blogger.com
