People in movements have the same goals, but not always the same reasons or methods. We have to allow everyone to work the way they work & we can't push people out because their beliefs don't 100% match ours. There is room for everyone.

It's not always elected officials who hold the power in your community. The person who organizes the school bake sale, the committee that makes the city parade happen, and the people who know who to ask and when others are in need.

Take all the organizing advice from outsiders you want, but how to apply it to YOUR community is best left to you & others who know your community. Don't ignore historic tensions or systemic harms, but don't let them cripple your movement either.

A good leader recognizes and elevates other leaders. Delegate and find others' best magic. It's impossible (and detrimental to the work) to do everything yourself!
