This is a good article that will probably not resonate with people who do not believe education is activism (which is probably the majority). Why share it then? It discusses activism and organizing and makes the point that "we must start with understanding and connecting the local before moving to the global." It's tempting to think your activism could go viral and reach a global audience, but first, it probably won't, and second, it probably shouldn't. And it's this second point that is important even to people who do not believe education is activism. We are moving away from a mass society with mass media and toward a networked society with community media. And the calculus of the community is different, as you move beyond organizing everyone who thinks the same as you, to working with people who think differently than you.
