Community organizing journal - on continual motivation: In moments of great (core group) frustration and outrage based on seemingly insufficient results of your organizing - on local and national level alike - and lack of belief that any significant change will be made in your lifetime, self-reminder to some of Lucy Parsons words come to the rescue: “...long period of education must precede any great fundamental change in society…” So, even if you have to do it through clenched teeth, repeat after me: “this work matters. It is time-consuming, agonizing and draining - but it matters.”
