Telling Our Stories: Activist History and the Parasites of #Mainstreaming

All activist history is soaked in struggle, not just against the oppressive systems we set out to confront, but also internally, against the deep currents of sectarianism that fracture our own movements.

The colour-coded gates, yellow, red, blue, were more than navigation markers. … Continue reading Telling Our Stories: Activist History and the Parasites of #Mainstreaming →

Trying to Remember: A Personal Reflection on Activist Histories and Memory Holes

Looking back on the activist groups I’ve been part of over the past few decades, I find myself drawn to the messy business of memory. Not nostalgia – something more grounded. A desire to trace the arc of what happened, why it happened, and what it meant, both personally and politically. But here’s the thing, … Continue reading Trying to Remember: A Personal Reflection on Activist Histories and Memory Holes →
