Just finished reading issue #1 of Kites Journal and thought I’d share this piece. I know it’s long but you’ll find it readable. Covers the O22 coalition, an organization that was created through a united front effort though with strong leadership from the Revolutionary Communist Party (before they devolved into a weird cult of personality thinktank) to confront police violence. Of particular interest is the fact that while organizing against police violence, O22 recruited family members of those who were killed by police to be the face of the organization and the actual leadership. It’s in stark contrast to the style of orgs these days which operate more with a service style.
