Right on the money Lisa - as they say on Wall St. I agree that going after the corporate power that runs things these days is right. I once sat next to a leading Florida State Senator on a long airline flight. In his lap were newspapers from his district and he went thru every square inch of each paper. I realized then if we are raising hell in the politicians 'district' then they will know about it. Focus on organizing resistance to fascism - defined by WW2 Italy's Mussolini as the 'wedding of corporations and government'. That is what we have in the US and EU today.
And where do we focus our efforts? Ukraine and the threat of nuclear escalation? Genocide in Gaza? Climate catastrophe? Back from the Brink efforts to abolish nuclear weapons? The list is growing exponentially.
Many, many issues need to be addressed, and there's a new way for the marginalized to get political power in 2024. It's not a new political party (those don't work), but the American Union of swing voters, built on the lessons of MLK and dedicated to fighting his triple evils of poverty, racism, and militarism. Here's a recent post detailing 10 of the antiwar parts of the legislative demands. https://americanunion.substack.com/p/ten-points-for-progress-in-the-antiwar
Really appreciate your gutsiness, Lisa.
