If you deliberately designed a system meant to discourage organizing, I don't know if you could do much better than law school. You are overworked, explicitly pitted against one another, only there for a short time, and cut off from the history of the profession and the community https://twitter.com/TheSituationist/status/1573768762511204352
1/ 🧵VERY LONG THREAD ON LAW SCHOOL STUDENT ORGANIZING: @dereckapurnell spoke at HLS last week. She emphasized that she is “terrified” about “the state of student organizing in the United States,” calling it “weak, very weak, . . . for a very long time.”

I organized full time while in law school. student bodies change too fast to build the institutional knowledge we need to guide organizing. that’s why @PeoplesParity is so crucial, and also why left faculty have to do more than just describe the problem.
they too must act. https://twitter.com/molly_coleman/status/1574425337177731072
This is, as advertised, a long thread, but it's well worth your time.
Law schools recruit people who want to be part of the shared project of building a more just world, and then do everything possible to prevent them from working for that world. It doesn't have to be like this. https://twitter.com/TheSituationist/status/1573768762511204352
We’re so excited to learn about base building and organizing skills with @PeoplesParity and @risingorganizer next week! 🤩
