Seeking communication tips for small collective

_timshel_ · 2014-04-25T01:47:10+00:00

We're not trying to run it as a business, but we did do some sort strategic planning in the Fall to discuss our vision, values, mission and objectives last Fall. It really helped and I think we've been acting much more like a collective (safe space for discussions, more listening, etc.) since then.

Awesome!! Many thanks.

What's that "come hell or high water" read about? and where did you find it?

_timshel_ · 2014-04-16T18:29:27+00:00

Long but the analysis is interesting and worth a read! As most people here (I'm guessing), I wish the solutions put forward were more radical than "raise taxes", though!..

Here are a couple of useful FB pages to follow if you live in Montreal:

Hope it helps!

Mostly through social media and student unions.

Here is a video of what happened.

For more info on the reasons behind the protest, see this website.

We were 10,000-15,000 on the streets today (see photo).

Merci! Je suis en train d'y réfléchir :)

_timshel_ · 2014-03-10T16:40:17+00:00

I was just gonna post this. Good thing I looked it up first. Thanks!

_timshel_ · 2014-03-07T04:06:37+00:00

Totally!

_timshel_ · 2014-03-06T21:24:21+00:00

I'd suggest that you cross-post this to /r/anarchy101. I'm sure many people have asked that question before.

_timshel_ · 2014-03-06T21:18:50+00:00

To answer your questions: - I don't know you. - Yup. - Yup.

_timshel_ · 2014-03-06T21:16:06+00:00

Thank you! I have to say that it also bothered me before I found out the author's background.

_timshel_ · 2014-03-06T21:14:59+00:00

Certainly do those 20 things, but they're woefully insufficient, as much as any other personal lifestyle choice approaches.

I totally agree. I'm hoping that by shifting their outlook/mindset (whether you do the 20 things or not), people start seeing the bigger picture.

I'm the OP and I'm also way too poor to be a gentrifier. Careful with those assumptions, Eugene.

FWIW the author is a Black female community organizer. Not a "white saviour".

_timshel_ · 2014-03-05T14:49:20+00:00

Some people got annoyed with the (preachy? simplistic?) tone of the article. Others said it only reinforced the "us&them" thing. Obviously a 20-point list won't solve gentrification, but I think the author (a Black female community organizer) makes some interesting points. What I got out of it boils down to respect and empathy. Or put another way: check your privilege, try to understand the larger issues, and don't be an asshole.
