Movement Memos

“"...I also see electoral participation, even when it’s a begrudging, frustrated act, which I think it often is, as a way of showing people who are living under very direct threats right now that I am invested in their well-being and survival. I am willing to make moves to try to change the math a bit right now. Even if I don’t think that’s what’s going to ultimately save us. Even if it’s messy, and not really reflective of the world I want. Because I am out here reaching for that world while still living in this one, and I care about who gets to keep trying to make it from this world to that one." --Kelly Hayes”
