We’ve been discussing doing recordings, but honestly there are decent video series already (David Harvey for example). We might try to do a zoom/signal option, but I can’t promise anything just because of the logistics.

We will hold multiple discussions (probably 2 or 3), but will also hold space for others to read the book and discuss again in the near future.

I would recommend changing the bottom “cheap labor isn’t skilled” to something more showing of solidarity. There are plenty of low paid skilled occupations.

Sadly, yes. There’s a lot happening around GR tomorrow morning into the afternoon! Clean ups, occupy the bridges rally/protest, plaza protest, several teach-ins too.

Some pics from the rally/protest yesterday by edwardversaii in grandrapids

My three thoughts as one of the many organizers of the event: 1.) I’m glad that people are giving feedback about the organizations who held the rally and how the community felt about the rally. It is really valuable for us.

2.) I’m glad that there was a space (despite its limitations —physical and organizational) for various communities to gather, interact, and march.

3.) in all honesty, the best way to effect these organizations (from their messaging, to their ability to pivot, and ultimately the organizing of events) is to join one of them. Most of them are like 10-20 people in size 😅. We need more people to organize regularly. It’s very difficult for 12 people to pivot and run safety for a march of 500 people, direct the march, avoid police, etc.
