The US in movement…., Movements in movement…

[As the struggle in the US (and in so many parts of the world today) deepens – and indeed, as a part of that deepening…

[But where, good as this sounds, and with the greatest respect for the individuals listed below who I happen to know or know of, I find it surprising, and even extraordinary and disappointing - and astonishing in this day and age and in something of this ambition and hope -, that all the members of the “expert group” listed below are from academic institutions, and where there are none who are mentioned, from movements on the ground…  Is the message that those who are actually on the frontlines of non-violent struggle and resistance today, have nothing to offer in a course ?  As teachers ?  As resource people ?

[Surely not; and surely this ‘intersectionality’ – to use that present buzz term –, this crossing of borders, is something that we need today, as resistance and movements are building across Turtle Island and across the world, perhaps more than ever ?! :
