Prisonculture: "The core of organizing is raising expectations." - Jane McAlevey

"The core of organizing is raising expectations." - Jane McAlevey

And here's Jane commenting on Twitter about an embroidery I made for a friend out of a quote of mine they liked. I like to remember her this way.

When they go low, you knee them in the face because they've left themselves open.

alt text: Embroidery that looks like lined note book paper with scrawled text, "when they go low, you fucking punch them in the neck so they know you mean business. This is about power not affect." Jane McAlvey commented, "I want a button with a fist I can click for this, not a heart (1/2)

But that reflects my mood. and your embroidered pillow" (2/2)

The peak of rising expectations is when the hammer comes down. Tianemem Square, Bolotnaya, the Revolution of Dignity (AKA Maidan) all happened at the crest of expectations. I hope the American public is prepared for this.
