Gonna get this out now before I tire.

Seen a lot of tweets asking http://Feminist.Co  to turn into a political party. Nice but I think we need to broaden our perspective. We need a bit more to change the system
In 2 days we watched a team of lawyers form a network with insane response and release times. How can we parley that into prison reform? Legal reform. That was one of our demands. What are our next steps
We watched ourselves crowd fund millions of Naira. How can we translate that into a crowd funded political network that provides funding for aspirants and other system based projects?
Created a network for medical and logistical support - how can we translate this into the medical field. How can we parley this?
We created a decentralized system that saw people organize at grassroots level, raise funding and access support - can we take this into Labour, transport unions, other unions.
We took control of the information flow. We insisted on and got global attention. Writers wrote, correspondents reported. We insisted on the engagement we wanted and saw responses. We called out people. How can we build on that? How can we take it offline
We have created the single most unifying citizen experience in recent times. We have seen that what we desire can be done and that we all have not just the desire but the skills and scope to do it - how can we turn this into a broad issues based ongoing and growing conversation?
We have seen what we can do. And I know right now we are tired and hurting because somehow, we really expected more. But now there are no illusions, what we ask will not be given to us.
We deserve to catch a breath and hurt and laugh to ignore the pain. But you see us, my beautiful coconut heads of the last few days, we can do this thing. We saw it ourselves and they saw it too.
