Anyone who wants to work with me in any capacity needs to know and get comfortable with one thing.
When I say I’m for the rev, I mean that. Not in an identity politics, virtue-signaling way. I believe in using a diversity of tactics, including but not limited to the vote, protest, and direct action. I believe in addressing harm collectively, across all demographics. 99% of people in the US have more in common with each other than we do with the top 1%, whether they realize it or not.
Currently I am organizing against a hyper-scale data center being built 20 minutes from our farm along with PSL Milwaukee, Great Lakes Neighbors United, and broad swath of local residents. To help, please consider donating to the gofundme and signing the petition. Stay tuned with these two organizations for updates and the data center and a potential recall election against the Mayor.
I am also taking part in a campaign with Midwest Environmental Advocates and Milwaukee Riverkeepers against a local CAFO that has been found to be operating without a permit across the road from the Cedarburg Bog, the largest intact bog in the state of Wisconsin. Here’s a recent article by WPR about that: After years of operating without a permit, WI dairy farm faces legal challenge.
In my house, we believe Black lives matter. We support land back, trans liberation, and survivors of sexual assault. Free Palestine, free Sudan, free the Congo. No war but class war. Abortion is healthcare. All power to the people.
You don’t have to agree with me on everything in order to work together. I’m not here to change other peoples’ minds. I’m here to find the overlap that connects all of us, and to work together to actually accomplish things in real life. There are a lot of things we can do with the capacity for critical thinking and basic emotional intelligence.
That said, I’m always learning more about these topics and to improve and adapt my advocacy and activism strategies for the best possible outcomes. It’s vulnerable work. Thanks to all my comrades, mentors, and friends over the years who have helped inform the work I’m doing now, and thanks in advance to everyone who comes forward to connect and collaborate with me.
Cheers to the better world we know is possible.
