On the road again!

 

A reflection on the absence of agreed upon priorities and leadership on the Left

My focus is on organizing ourselves … the Rainbow Left … at this writing … specifically in the lands and with the blessings of the Massachusett and Wampanoag and many more Indigenous people who we owe a debt to and who lead us still.

Who speaks for and to the Rainbow Left nationally? Brother West? Rev Barber? The Abolish Prison and Prison Slavery movement? Bernie? Rise Up? The Squad? Bill Fletcher?

Who speaks to or for the Rainbow Left in MA? Jamie? Jo? Nika, Ayanna? Mahtowin Monroe? Big Mike, Jim McGovern?

We MUST be able to decide on our priorities, on where we can best direct our forces/resources at this critical moment.

There is no single organization on the left that doesn’t want more active volunteers. We all think about recruitment.

My focus is on organizing ourselves. Land back!
