What if staying human is one of the most powerful and most unappreciated forms of resistance? Shaping tomorrow and defeating tyranny takes more than big protest events and macro strategies.
This work is about more than survival. It’s about building the moral and emotional infrastructure to stay human together for the long haul. The path forward may not be marked, but we are not lost. With each act of discernment, connection, repair, and refusal, we’re shaping the future. Step by step, we’re moving toward something more rooted, more humane. Maybe even something that feels like a home and not just a refuge from harm — a foundation for belonging, care, and repair.
Where This Work Leads
This blog is part of a larger project called Progressive Strategy Now which is more than just my blog’s title. It is my attempt to meet the moment, a growing collection of resources and consultation to help mission-driven people and organizations stay human and stay strategic while navigating moral injury, institutional destruction, and the lived realities of authoritarian harm. If this post gave you words for something you’ve been carrying, you’re in the right place. This is one dispatch in an ongoing series.
