19:57:13	 From  Herb Ettel, DC : Welcome Chuck & BIG thnx Pamela!
19:57:48	 From  Betsy Raasch-Gilman : I'm curious, Eric, as to the "generation gap" between you and younger activists.  In my experience, the difference between 26-year-olds (say) and 20-year-olds is actually greater than the difference between 20-year-olds and 50-year-olds.  More conflict, more mutual dismissiveness.  Is that true in your experience, too?
20:00:37	 From  Herb Ettel, DC : 2 New MNS websites will LAUNCH FRIDAY: MovementforaNewSociety.org & ActivistTraining.org! So once you get my MNSWhole email anncmt, please: Visit each and click on as many links as you can, to build traffic stats and search rankings; and fwd the links to all you can, asking them to do the same. ALSO click and promote on all social media you can.
20:01:13	 From  nancy and David Finke : Here at Oberlin College we hear (from older faculty and staff) that students don't want to hear bout what we did in the '60s.  I think the antidote to this is listening, as Pamela said.  Keep quiet!
20:01:51	 From  Eric Braxton : Funders’ Collaborative on Youth Organizing www.fcyo.org
20:02:08	 From  Shel Horowitz : I was blessed to be mentored by activists from the 1930s-40s and beyond. Now, I’m sometimes mentored by people in their teens-20s. I became an activist at 12 and I’ve met some who got involved even younger than that.
20:05:35	 From  Betsy Raasch-Gilman : THANK YOU!! Post-modernism has done a number on this generation.
20:06:52	 From  Jamie Newton : Comment: Elders with long experience in nonviolence, and with deep spiritual development, were vital for inspiration, sustaining hope, and practical mentoring in my early activist years (1960's, 1970's). Persistence despite great loss and disappointment can be gently conveyed, helping less experienced activists bend like willows in the wind and survive. 
20:10:24	 From  Fred Cook : Good work, Herb!
20:12:05	 From  Shel Horowitz : My biggest challenge working with young activists is the insistence on political purity, the unwillingness to work with people who only agree with them on 80%. Strategies?

20:25:44	 From  Jamie Newton : Fred, FYI, I just sent this by chat to Nancy and David Finke:
Hi, Nancy and David. I heartily agree with your affirmation on listening. Do you know "A Little Book of Listening Skills"? Marion and I have found it valuable. I also note that powerholders consciously attempt to convince challengers that all effort will be futile. Our direct experience with progress made against great odds can be heartening. Dispel the illusion of futility! Personal narratives can nourish hope. - Jamie Newton

20:29:23	 From  Erika, she/her, unceded Dakota land : I’d say that the LGBTQ, 2nd-wave feminism, anti-nukes, and the anti-Vietnam war movements all sprang from the Civil Rights & Black Power movements. Those are the antecedents for all our movements. What do others think?
20:29:34	 From  Herb Ettel, DC : Thurs. I join Indigenous YOUTH* & 350.org at White House demaning end to DAPL & Tar Sands Line 3! *Youth RAN 1,000+ miles from ND to DC!

20:30:08	 From  stephen zunes : zunes@usfca.edu
20:34:25	 From  Shel Horowitz : It’s an evolution. Howard Zinn’s People’s History makes that clear. Labor in the 30s, early feminism, abolition in early 19th century,
20:38:49	 From  Betsy Raasch-Gilman : That's quite true, Blair -- the things which ARE allowed, not only those which aren't.
20:41:08	 From  Shel Horowitz : @Erika, you mentioned the safe energy movement. I’ve written a 5-part blog on the 40th anniversary fo the Seabrook occupation, including the influence of Clamshell on more recent social change organizing. Here’s part 1, and each part links to the next: https://greenandprofitable.com/40-years-ago-today-we-changed-the-world-part-1/
20:42:26	 From  Blair ellis-walker (he/him) : CISgender
20:42:47	 From  Blair ellis-walker (he/him) : CisHet : refers to Cisgender and Heterosexual
20:43:08	 From  Blair ellis-walker (he/him) : Cisgender: Identifying with the gender one was assigned at birth
20:43:19	 From  Eric Braxton : This article has a good take from Alicia Garza, one of the founders of BML, on purity politics. “We can’t be afraid to establish a base that is larger than the people we feel comfortable with.” https://www.newyorker.com/books/under-review/a-black-lives-matter-founder-on-building-modern-movements.
20:43:56	 From  Shel Horowitz : Love that, Eric, thanks.
20:44:16	 From  Herb Ettel, DC : GREAT job, presenters & JOAN!
20:48:03	 From  Shel Horowitz : Amen, Herb. I’m taking some notes and happy to share them.
20:48:03	 From  Erika, she/her, unceded Dakota land : I want to give a shout-out to Betsy, who’s worked tirelessly with younger-people’s movements for decades. Go, BETSY!!!
20:48:39	 From  nancy and David Finke : To the Weavers:  do you need money?  I'm thinking that it would be good to have Zoom captions and that might cost more...
20:49:52	 From  Shel Horowitz : Here are my notes:
20:50:45	 From  Shel Horowitz : Ooops, they are too big to paste. I can send to Herb and he can share them.
20:54:48	 From  Eric Braxton : That was beautifully put
20:54:58	 From  Mary McCaffrey : Thanks for asking if the Weavers need money.  I would say that right now, we need one or two more members!  Can any of you consider joining The Weavers, to keep this forum alive?  We do one prep meeting, about 1 hour or so, and I Zoom Session like this, per month>
20:55:01	 From  Shel Horowitz : Very illuminating evening. Many thanks.
20:56:08	 From  Betsy Raasch-Gilman : Well, the Willoughbys.
