Show by Michael Fanone

French high schoolers walked out because they didn’t have enough teachers. Then workers, parents, and even a mayor who put himself between cops and kids showed up. Nobody told those kids to wait their turn.So what the fuck, America?We’ve got citizens shot dead by federal immigration agents and masked men hauling people off our streets. And by tonight we’re figuring out dinner and getting the kids to bed. I get it. But the people doing this are counting on that.Being angry isn’t pressure. If an official can watch the crowd go home, put out a statement, and get right back to it, we haven’t changed shit. They’ve learned they can survive our anger without answering our demands.I’m not telling anyone to risk their job or their health insurance alone. I worry about those bills too. Real solidarity is child care, a ride, and covering the lost shift so people can keep coming back after the march is over.And Democrats, you don’t get a pass. We don’t need another speech about how dangerous Trump is. Tell us what you’re willing to do with power, even when it costs you.Share this with somebody you want standing next to you.
