The time is NOW

Intergenerational organizing is how movements survive.

We do not win because one generation has all the answers. We win when generations stay in relationship with each other.

Elders carry memory and lessons from past struggle. Young people carry urgency and new ideas. People in between connect the two.

When we separate those things, movements weaken.

“You’re too young” or “you’re out of touch” does not build power. It just blocks it.

Real organizing means listening across generations, sharing leadership, and valuing experience and new thinking equally.

Because wisdom without new ideas gets stuck. And new ideas without history repeat mistakes.

Movements last when we build across difference, not around it.

Take action: bring someone from a different generation into your organizing. Learn from them. Stay in relationship.

Puerto Rico is facing a serious water crisis, with more than 180,000 households under mandatory water rationing and families struggling to access water for drinking, cooking, and basic needs.

We’re sharing this because when our communities are in need, We Got Us. REBUILD.US is working alongside trusted Puerto Rico-based organizations Taller Salud, HASER, and Construyamos Otro Acuerdo (COA) to respond to this crisis and get clean drinking water directly to families.

Their local partners are working to establish water distribution centers and deliver water to communities that need it most.

This is what community power looks like. ❤️

After the recent Callais decision gutted the Voting Rights Act, voters here in North Carolina and across the South have found themselves asking the same question: how does this impact us?

Leoneda Inge of WUNC's "Due South" interviewed me, Representative Valerie Foushee, former Representative Eva Clayton, and Senator Natalie Murdock to help answer this question. You can listen to my interview here:
