Yet the defense against racist, sexist attacks must not interfere with the necessary offense required to push the Biden-Harris political ticket, for people who choose to play the electoral politics game.
When activists criticized President Barack Obama, we were scathingly reminded how hard it was for him to be a Black man in the White House. He had significant executive power to shift resources, call for legislation, and even free people from prison. We were told to wait.
This generational fatigue, from Nina Simone to @ninaturner, from Fannie Lou Hamer to @CoriBush, compounds with the political fatigue of doing progressive work around a party that undermines progressive values. No more.
if we want to truly honor Black women’s labor and fatigue to change this country, the cost will be significantly higher than the price of the ticket to run it.
