As organizers rattled through megaphones across America in July: \u201cThis is not a MOMENT; this is a MOVEMENT,\u201d any successful revolution is one made up of a cross-stitching of other liberation movements: as seen in the work of Covid mutual aid units collaborating with BLM activists, while youth-led climate groups like Sunrise Movement have now hurled banners across freeways\u2014not only to demand a #GreenNewDeal, but to #DefundThePolice and #CancelRent. Already, tens of millions of Americans have hit the streets to defend Black lives, while also identifying how the blood stains of police brutality connect to the patriarchal, colonial violence beating the drum of Capitalism\u2019s deathwish. We are in the midst of a generation-defining, global, mass-death catastrophe, and so Kali Akuno\u2019s call to \u201cUnite and Fight, Build the General Strike\u201d will need to have multiple connecting demands to Defund the Police; Care for the People; Cancel the Rent; Forgive the Debt and Build the Green New Deal. Anything less than this will mean the end of mass civilization, its past achievements becoming newspaper kindle to the fires of the post-apocalypse. Toni Morrison once said, \u201cAll paradises, all utopias are defined by who is not there, by the people not allowed in.\u201d In fact, it\u2019s the poisonous ideas and myths that exist inside them and us that should not be let in. So let\u2019s start a very different kind of fire then.
