Some Lessons from A Setback
What are some of the lessons from the painful postponement of the OneVoice Summit?
· to stand strong on our principles, and not let anyone define who we are;
· to anticipate threats and challenges and plan better to prevent anyone from derailing non-violent actions that are consistent with the Will of the People;
· to brief all constituents directly, even those who may be suspicious of or threatened by OneVoice, to clarify the sincerity of purpose and nobility of the goals of the Movement;
· to not be swallowed by hatred or contempt, and to not attack anyone as an individual, but rather to point out that the ideology of absolutism must be overcome;
· to be exceptionally clear and transparent about all we say and do;
· to work more strategically
· to avoid centralization of authority;
· to empower youth leaders;
· to strengthen alliances and emphasize partnerships;
· to demand the highest standards of transparency and professionalism from all of us;
· to never lose sight of why we are doing what we are doing.
