I haven’t been posting for the last few years. I am still reading (my favorite recent novel is The Bee Sting by Paul Murray), listening to music (my favorite recent album is Speak to Me by jazz guitarist Julian Lage), and watching movies (my favorite recent film is The Beast, a French film directed by Bertrand Bonello), but I haven’t had time or energy to write about them here. Hopefully, I will resume posting soon. But no promises.
I wanted to note here that I posted a paper I wrote for an organizing seminar run by Hahrie Han’s P3 lab. The paper discusses three things: 1) what the progressive movement should do to win governing power in California in 30 years, 2) what RAC-CA, the social justice arm of the Reform Jewish movement in California should do to contribute to that thirty-year project, and 3) a look at a new housing campaign that is a model of what I propose in the first two sections.
You can find this paper by clicking on the link above entitled “Writings About Community Organizing.” Happy reading!
