In a recent episode of "Movement Memos," author and podcaster Margaret Killjoy discusses the importance of preparedness and community resilience in today's turbulent climate. She emphasizes the need for collective survival strategies, urging listeners to deescalate conflicts that divert attention from bigger threats. Killjoy reflects on the challenges posed by political turbulence, particularly after the 2024 presidential election, advocating for unity in addressing common enemies rather than tearing each other down. Her insights encourage a rethinking of how we engage in organizing during times of crisis.
"We are really good at finding what's wrong with each other, we really need to challenge ourselves to be ready to let people be better."
"Deescalate all conflict that isn't with the enemy."
"This moment demands a new approach to community resilience, focusing on preparedness and collective defense against mutual threats."
"In an era overwhelmed by division, it’s crucial to recognize when to unite for a common cause rather than succumb to infighting."
