All Streets, All People - ASAP

$1,000,000,000,000.

That’s Elon Musk’s net worth as of today. The world’s first trillionaire. History was made this morning.

Here’s what that number actually means:

If he spent $1 million every single day, it would take him 2,740 years to spend it all.

Meanwhile, 35.9 million people in America live below the poverty line. Right now. Today.

One economist shared that Musk could command the labor of 557,800 people compared to 116,000 for Rockefeller and 48,000 for Carnegie. He may be the wealthiest individual who has ever lived in human history. 

Read that again.

One man. More commanding power over human labor than any person who has ever walked this earth.

There is no individual human being on this planet whose genius, whose work, whose ideas are worth 557,000 other human lives. That wealth was built on the backs of workers — in factories, in warehouses, in orbit prep facilities — who will never see a trillion dollars between all of them combined.

Capitalism told us a story: work hard, play by the rules, and you can make it. But the rules were written for people like him. And when one man holds more wealth than most nations, there is no competition.

So what’s the alternative?

We don’t have to accept this as inevitable. People have BEEN building alternatives:

🔹 Worker Co-operatives — businesses owned and governed by the workers themselves. Profits stay in the community. Decisions get made democratically. No extraction.

🔹 Micro-enterprises — small, community-rooted businesses that build local wealth without sending profits to a shareholder class in another zip code.

🔹 Non-extractive industries — care work, urban farming, community land trusts, credit unions — economic activity that builds up instead of pulling out.

These aren’t utopian fantasies. They exist. They work. They’re being built by people who look like us, in places like ours. The trillion-dollar question isn’t “how did he get there?” It’s: what are we building instead?

That’s what ASAP is about. Not just naming the problem. Building the power to change it.

"In education circles, we pay a lot of attention to key U.S. Supreme Court decisions. But most education law plays out in state courts, where even major rulings can go overlooked. To help make sense of what’s been happening in state courts over the past year on issues ranging from school choice to school spending..."

Keeping ourselves ignorant is how they win. Political education is our weapon because it helps us connect the dots. Join us this Thursday (6/11) for Session 2, Lesson 2 in our study of ‘Ella Baker and the Black Freedom Movement’ as we take lessons from one of the most formidable movement architects in history. If your goal is to deepen your analysis and take action, The Ella Jo Baker Movement School is a great place to start.

"We did not always have the language of ‘human rights’ or ‘climate justice’, but we had songs, we had poetry, we had murals on crumbling walls and we had stories whispered across generations. Those cultural expressions carried courage where formal politics could not. They helped ordinary people imagine freedom long before it became reality."

🔥 WHAT. A. SESSION. 🔥

First and foremost, we want to extend our deepest appreciation to the Shreveport Socialist League for showing up in a major way and leading today’s Ella Jo Baker Movement Motivator session, “All of Us or None: A Deeper Look at Socialism.” Today’s session challenged participants to think critically about who controls power, resources, and decision-making in society, while exploring the history of socialism, labor movements, anti-colonial struggles, and the ongoing fight for working-class self-determination.

Together, we wrestled with questions that sit at the heart of organizing:

• Who should control workplaces?
• How should people benefit from their labor?
• What do we owe one another as members of a community?
• What would it look like to build systems centered on human needs instead of profit?

From discussions about the Paris Commune, the Black Panther Party, and anti-colonial liberation movements, to conversations about cooperatives, solidarity, and local organizing right here in Louisiana, today’s session reminds us that political education is not about memorizing facts, it’s about developing the analysis necessary to change the world.

At the Ella Jo Baker Movement School, we believe political education is not neutral. Every session is an opportunity to move from emotion to analysis, from analysis to action, and from action to organization.

NEXT UP: MOVEMENT STUDY SESSION 2

Join us this Thursday as we continue our six-week Movement Study series exploring Barbara Ransby’s Ella Baker and the Black Freedom Movement.

🗓 Thursday, June 11
⏰ 6:00 PM - (Virtual - register here: https://bit.ly/EJBMS2026)

We’ll dive deeper into Ella Baker’s organizing philosophy, her belief in grassroots leadership, and the lessons her work offers organizers building power today.

Whether you’re brand new to organizing or have been in movement spaces for years, there is a place for you in this study.

Strong movements need strong people.
And strong people are built through study, struggle, reflection, and action.

The powerful have always depended on division.

Black against white. Rural against urban. Worker against worker. Citizen against immigrant. Young against old.

Meanwhile, the same systems that deny healthcare, underfund schools, suppress wages, pollute communities, and undermine democracy continue to concentrate wealth and power in fewer and fewer hands.

This month at the Ella Jo Baker Movement School, we’re digging deeper.

Not into slogans.
Not into fear.
Into history, power, economics, organizing, and the systems that shape our daily lives.

Join us for a critical conversation exploring socialism, collective power, and what it means to build a society where everyone has what they need to live with dignity.

This session will be facilitated by our friends at the Shreveport Socialist League, who will help guide participants through an honest, grounded discussion about the history, theory, myths, and realities of socialism—and why these conversations matter in a moment of growing inequality and democratic crisis.

Because if liberation belongs to only a few, it isn’t liberation at all.
