/r/50501 Mirror

Hello, I am an organizer for 50501DFW. 50501 is a decentralized movement of volunteers. We do not have a lot of resources. We all work jobs, have families, and issues we have to deal with on top of organizing. We put a lot of time and energy into organizing. It is not easy, and it takes a toll.

For those who say we need to do more, get involved. Get into your local orgs and help. I know in Dallas there are easily a hundred orgs actively working on different goals. Just because you are unaware does not mean nothing is happening.

I always say if you have a criticism, also come up with a proposal on how to address it. Do we need a never ending protest? Well, start organzing. Go get a sign and stand on the corner. Start talking to people in your life about it.

I say these things because many of us are working very hard behind the scenes.

ORGANIZING IS LABOR.

It has a real cost, physically and mentally, and when you come in and diminish and degrade the work being done, you are dealing damage to those putting in the work. There is more going on than you realize. We are building networks and strengthening communities so we can have tens of thousands out in every city.
It's hard work. Either help out or kindly step off.

With Love
