"They Can't Beat All of Us"
A Report Back from the #FloridaAbolitionistGathering
#CrimethInc, March 15, 2025
"From February 28 to March 2, hundreds of #abolitionists and #anarchists from across the country converged in Gainesville for the first Florida Abolitionist Gathering (#FAG). Across a passionate weekend of #workshops, films, food, #debate, #ritual, and #protest, the contours of a robust regional #resistance movement came into focus.
"The #intergenerational, heavily #queer and #trans, and strongly multi-issue and anarchist group of abolitionists that converged in Florida articulated an expansive vision of #liberation anchored in the urgent need to dismantle the #PrisonIndustrial complex in all its manifestations. The gathering showed that even as liberals wring their hands about the death of democracy, scrappy groups of organizers continue to fight back—and sometimes win—deep within the belly of the beast."

I just finished streaming the #movie #Thelma (2024) which was named the the best #InterGenerationalFilm by the #AARP during it's #MoviesForGrownUps award show that just aired last night.
#JuneSquibb who plays the lead was nominated for #BestMovieActress but lost to #DemiMoore in #Substance who won that award.
The movie is about a #Senior #Woman who gets scammed on the #Net & takes it's upon herself to get her $ back. There was a gun involved but think of it as the #Beekeeper without any killing. LOL! 
It's a delightful movie which portrays the #elderly in a truthful but respectful & amusing light & also speaks to the #intergenerational #wisdom & support that #seniors can provide to the young.
Here's a link to #Wiki's webpage regarding the film: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thelma_(2024_film)
I'd rate it an 8 out of 10 & just placed an order for the #DVD.
Watch it if & where you can.

Last week, the Resolution Foundation and Connecting Generations teams launched the sixth Intergenerational Audit for the UK, evaluating the #economic importance of intergenerational exchanges.
This year’s report explores #intergenerational support, highlighting older #generations' financial and #caregiving aid and younger adults' unpaid #care for #ageing #parents.

"The newly released documentary Where Olive Trees Weep is a beautiful, poignant, heartbreaking film about the struggles and resilience of the Palestinian people under Israeli occupation. It explores themes of loss, trauma, and the quest for justice. It also features Dr. Gabor Maté as he offers trauma-healing work to a group of Palestinian women tortured in Israeli prisons."

Americans born to low-income families are faring worse than the last generation in most major U.S. cities, a new analysis finds.
#Intergenerational #mobility
— the idea that you'll do better than your parents, your children will do better than you, and so on
— is core to the American dream, but is far from a guarantee.
A new analysis from the Census Bureau and Opportunity Insights, a research group at Harvard University, seeks to measure intergenerational mobility at the county level.
Researchers compared the average household income at age 27 for Americans born to low-income families in both 1978 and 1992 to get a localized picture of changing opportunities over time.
What they found: 
In 38 of the 50 biggest U.S. metro areas, Americans born to low-income families in 1992 were doing #worse at age 27 than those born in 1978 at that age.
Brownsville, Texas, had the biggest increase across generations: Those born in 1992 made $33,500 at age 27, compared to $31,400 for those born in 1978 (up 6.7%; adjusted to 2023 dollars).
Philadelphia had the biggest drop, with those born in 1992 making just $27,200 at age 27, compared to $31,200 for those born in 1978 (down 12.8%).
Between the lines: The geography of mobility has shifted dramatically, especially when breaking down the data by race.
"By 1992, upward mobility for low-income #white children in the #coasts and in the #Southwest 
fell markedly to rates on par with those observed in #Appalachia and other areas that historically offered the lowest chances of upward mobility," the researchers write.
"Conversely, for #Black children, upward mobility increased the most in the #Southeast and the #Midwest
— areas where outcomes had historically been poorest for Black Americans."
Yes, but: "Black children born in 1992 still had poorer prospects of rising up than white children in virtually every county in America, because initial Black-white disparities were so large."
The bottom line: 
Changes affecting one generation quickly affect the next, 
the researchers say, and "thereby generate rapid changes in economic mobility."
"While this carries hope for how opportunity can improve, it also comes with some caution, as communities can experience declining opportunity in a similar timeframe."

The #intergenerational #trauma of #Japan’s “comfort women” lives on, shaping the #lives of their #descendants in profound ways.
The #trauma that they faced is still alive and well, often passing #intergenerationally as a remnant of horrible #Japanese #colonization and #imperialism

“Our #Movement Needs More #Archivists: An Interview With Dartricia Rollins”
Dartricia is co-founder of the #liberation-focused #oralHistory project, Georgia Dusk, "an #intergenerational counter-narrative to the mainstream depiction of Georgia politics and the #southern liberation movement."
"They Will Beat the Memory Out of Us" on Pluto Books is a new book by @PeterGelderloos, and it's ready for pre-order:
"What is it about capitalist society, police repression, and our own bad movement strategies, that causes us to lose our collective memory? What kind of actions, skill sets, and strategies could we employ in our struggles to allow for an intergenerational continuity? How can we avoid dogma, the list of correct lessons and vetted truths, which only stifles our creativity and intelligence, and instead nourish a relationship with our collective history that gives us a wealth of experiences to sharpen our analysis of the unique present?
These are the topics I address in my new book, which I’m really excited to announce today!"

doomerism w/in the western "#left" just tells me that we need more #intergenerational organizing spaces. older activists love telling me how far we've come. calling out #capitalism as a root cause to our issues was rare 10 yrs ago. barely anyone took #abolition seriously 5 yrs ago. so many ppl had no idea about #palestine 4 yrs ago!
activists have made great strides. the ruling class is running out of excuses. why else would they use such violence twds us right now?

Again today a teen contacted us after being cited by law enforcement while biking. We love working with youth. And our fav #BicyclingMonterey projects have embraced all ages, e.g., #Intergenerational Rides https://bikemonterey.org/new-ground-for-bike-week-1st-intergenerational-ride.html and so many more.
That was on our mind when we read:
“'There are whole industries where older people are uncommon,’ he added, pointing to #advertising, #entertainment and #technology. 'Most people’s #networks consist only of people 10 yrs #older or 10 yrs #younger than they are.’
…
“#Generativity refers to...'a developmental need older people experience, assisting younger generations to create a #BetterWorld that they themselves won’t live to see.
…
"'It’s only been 150 yrs or so since people went to anyone other than the oldest person in a community for #advice about finding a mate or what crops to plant in a drought. It’s a dangerous experiment to have a society in which that doesn’t happen.’” https://www.nytimes.com/2024/02/18/health/intergenerational-programs-older-younger.html

Incomes achieved by the children of immigrants relative to parental income (intergenerational mobility) depend a lot on the child’s age of arrival to Canada, according to Marie Connolly at the UQAM Immigration & Intergenerational Mobility Workshop https://grch.esg.uqam.ca/en/workshop-december-8-2023/
