Join 📚Jof’S Book Highlights
A batch of the best highlights from what Jophin's read, .
Most of our initial work after the split with our parent organization moved us further from social change efforts and toward non-profit building work. We were never asked to articulate and demonstrate a political analysis that would guide our organizing work. No one advised us to explain our niche or role in a larger movement. We were never cautioned against burnout, the external pressure to get bigger, or overextending ourselves by common pulls away from the work. Though we had adopted many businesslike practices, tools, and modes of operation, the threat of mirroring corporate culture within the organization was never anticipated.
The Revolution Will Not Be Funded
Incite!
Resist the urge to privatize one’s needs through the creation of private recreational paradises, private education and transportation, or gated or enclave communities. Instead develop a personal stake in quality public education, livable communities, and healthy ecosystems. If we make personal choices that reflect this, it will have a positive ripple effect on the whole society.
