Today I received an email from a fairly well-known activist group. This is the group I respect the most for the quality of their protests, and the size of their demonstrations.
I will not try to delve into the details of demonstration planning. What is on my mind is a matter of strategy.
What I am interested in is the media, especially their news divisions. There must be a point of first impact. That is, what is the most important of all the methods, to pursue first and foremost?
As time has gone on and concerns about this federal administration increase, it seems ever more important to me that priorities be set forward. A great historical revolutionary once said the first thing to do is convert the media. What this means in any given movement is to be decided. But in my own reading of history, I have learned that the media set-up in America is inadequate to the point of being dangerous. If this seems histrionic, so be it. Much more can be said, but the way the media is owned in this country is a full-on threat to democracy. This must be the first point of impact.
