A thing a lot of people who have never organized activism before or who are very focussed on one current issue is that good activism is activism that can be sustained long term. 

That means good activism doesn’t rely on the constant work of a few individuals. Good activism doesn’t drain activists of all energy. Good activism passes on skills. Good activism involved newcomers in decision making so they can learn. Good activism lets the less talented speaker on stage because we all have to learn at some point. Good activism doesn’t think anyone who is to inexperienced to contribute. 

A thing I see so often is a few experienced dedicated activists doing everything because someone has to do it and they can do it right the first time because they already know how to do the thing. But doing it all alone leaves no time and energy for teaching, which means the next time you will be doing it all alone again. Until you get too tired and then no one will do it. 

No matter how desperate today seems, no matter how much we want to win right now, good activism saves some for tomorrow and creates space for the activists of tomorrow to learn and grow.
