Last night (Wed) was a "North" caucus. Unfortunately, the lady who
wanted to run it .. didn't do a social movement kind of job. First,
she repeatedly failed to be able to introduce herself. Now, why is
that? Hm. But, some brilliant things were said by organizers, especially those
from racial justice and environmental justice communities in the U.S. And, we knew that we wanted to go in there being able to come out with
something about alignment in the U.S. about doing what is necessary.
Statements related to actions that, as Cecil from WEACT reminded some
of us at dinner, would be what we would hold ourselves accountable to
the global South people's movements for. The exchange *is* working, though. I have seen so many transformative
moments. And then, some of pure comedy:
