One of the marks of a good organizer is experimentation. You try the established channels. You try different power analyses. You try different alliances. Theory is great, but experimentation and failure are truly powerful teachers. And that's the process we've seen her go through.

Yeh, she may never have quite the level of bang-for-buck influence she did at the start, but she's clearly someone who's smart & committed & in it for the long haul. She'll continue to be effective.

And not for nothing, but it is often STRATEGIC to start by exhausting the conventional avenues of change we are told to use. I started organizing from the outside, the message was always "if you really want to make change, engage the system," and, okay.
