My latest is a reflection on how people have responded to the killing of a health insurance CEO. "Rather than centering Thompson’s humanity, as scolding voices have demanded, they centered their own, and the humanity and suffering of others who were harmed by the insurance industry." I also talk about Mangione as a floating signifier, which sounds weird, but trust me, I have a point. https://organizingmythoughts.org/insurance-denials-chronic-pain-and-a-nations-rage/

In our last Movement Memos episode of the year, I talk with Silky Shah about how organizers are preparing for to defend immigrant communities, and what actions we can take to prepare and respond. “It’s inherently a racial and economic justice fight,” Silky says.

When I interviewed mutual aid volunteers in Asheville, they had one recurring plea: Don’t forget about us when the news cycle moves on. I recently caught up with one of those organizers, who shared some important updates and lessons learned. This is a good time to learn from collective survival work. https://organizingmythoughts.org/the-power-of-the-people-heals-2/
