@kissane During the AIDS crisis most of what we were doing was tending and befriending. People on the outside saw the activism and there was lots of organizing among ourselves and with allies but the tend and befriend network of queer and straight people was the foundational layer. This isn't like organizing a corporate event or advertising campaign, you need to focus on care for those who need it first. There'll be plenty of work for the people who want to campaign too (as there was during the AIDS crisis) but any real movement comes out of taking emotional and physical care of each other.
