***THANK YOU***, those are supremely useful starting points.
I’m a member of my town democratic committee and they are a frustratingly feckless group by and large. I’ve been calling for a renewed commitment to labor but didn’t have any concrete ideas on how. This is great stuff.
There’s also a local coalition of BernieCrats who are pretty good with organizing but are almost all in their 70s. Several of them are old Labor organizers and I’m hoping to get some input from them while they are still in the fight.
Unrelated: I’m listening to The Hammer as an audiobook (through Libro!), and I appreciate hearing your own voice reading it. Many a nonfiction audiobook is ruined by detached sounding readers. Your tinge of southern accent is grounding and your delivery puts across the urgency of the text really well. Sure, I can hear the “fixes” because you don’t have Simon&Shuster money producing it, but I got used to that fast. It’s great hearing the book coming straight from the author.
Thanks Benjamin-- some ideas on that are in here:
