If you’re like me, you’re walking around in a bit of a daze trying to reorient yourself around what happened in last night’s election. At ONE Northside we know that though elections are important, they are not the end all to be all. We must stay the path together and continue to fight for the change we want to see.
There is a famous organizing quote that says “don’t mourn, organize,” but as a ONE Northside supporter put it today, “Many moons ago, I would have agreed with ‘don’t mourn, organize.’ Now I know that mourning and organizing are inextricably related.”
We invite you to join us and join together as a community. We want this to be a space where we can come together as community to mourn, process, vision and organize.
Opportunities to come together as Community to process:
- TONIGHT 11/9 at People’s Church (941 W. Lawrence) at 6-8pm–RSVP to Jennifer Ritter at jritter@ONENorthside.org
- Join with ONE Northside, National People’s Action and MoveOn members and our allies will gather peacefully tonight in cities and towns across the nation. We will affirm our continued rejection of Donald Trump’s bigotry, xenophobia, Islamophobia, and misogyny, and we will demonstrate our resolve to fight together for the America we still believe is possible.
