I've been building &amp; spitting for a minute now and both my politics and my art have exposed me to people and places that have shaped my outlook. I want to spread that around a little you know.<br /><br />So here's what you can expect...<br />- posts w/ pics from political events and shows (anyone can submit)<br />- links to articles on various political issues/movements/people<br />- info about music (old &amp; new) and other art I'm feeling and/or creating<br />- life<br /><br />I'm interested in learning more about what's happening locally and globally so definitely educate me on what's good.<br /><br />I also want to know about different <span style="font-weight: bold;">organizing strategies and tactics that have been successful</span> for various struggles so they can be shared and repeated where appropriate.<br /><br />Respek,<br />-S.O.N.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7248099197236021642-6457767441428619177?l=artofstruggle.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>S.O.N.noreply@blogger.com0
