Thanks Kerri. I've been thinking about the failure of the gun violence movement, and reading this made me want to weave two resources. First, this recent piece (https://theconnector.substack.com/p/and-we-are-not-saved) looking at philanthropic movement capture of the movement, which points at the sentiment the Parenting is Political post does. And second, this interview from a few years back with Marianne Manilov (https://ashowofhearts.com/marianne-manilov/) which remains among my favorites. The TL;DR of both: we need far more radical tactics, and while there is a need for financial resources to sustain movements, it will not be professionally/hierarchically directed.
