Fuck. Yes. I fucking love you! So many times while I was reading this, I was going "EXACTLY! THANK YOU!" lol. This was great, you nailed it, and you rock. Thanks for typing this up and for sharing this with us. Thank you for everything you've done and continue to do to fight for what's right. I'm genuinely proud of you and I'm so grateful that people like you exist.

Thank you. As much as I am talking about my shit, everything we did was a team effort. A lot of our early organizing I was in the hospital. It's worth keeping that frame in mind while reading it.

I hope some of the older folks put something like this out and put me in my place, because I was new to organizing when I came in to all this... and some of my comrades had already been doing working hard for years before. Twin Cities folks are the really crazy ones. Some of their organizers go back to the 80's, and draw on some shit that goes back much further.
