I think it is just interesting for one thing
there are one thing that has energized me
in the movement are just the variety of people
and the stories and the backgrounds of how
people got into. Just as tales are wonderful
we don’t like to use the world inspirational
because that’s been way cheapened by overuse
but they are inspirational stories of people
who have solved their own problems or coped
with their own problems and gotten way beyond
themselves to make connections with other
people and literally change the world. It
is exciting that the world can be changed
and it has been changed by the movement and
I think that can give heart to people who
are working for peace or racial justice or
economic justice. People with very few resources
can do a lot that is one thing that is different
about the movement we have never been able
to turn out 100,000 people for anything and
we never will. We have never had a lot of
money and we never will. We have people who
have a really hard time getting to the meeting
they can’t drive, they are living on SSI
they are stuck somewhere but yet they manage
to contribute to changing the world and that
ought to give heart to the other people who
feel under funded and under resourced.
