Philly has had a difficult week. It has been made clear, in no uncertain terms, that our leadership has decided to enforce new legislation and enact a strategic strike against harm reduction and public health, weaponizing their power to cause great harm. The lease ending for Savage Sisters Recovery, Inc was one minor show of power. But the response that we received from the community, not just on a local level, but on a global level, has been astounding. So let me be very clear. This work will not stop. We will continue to show up, we will continue to serve, and we will continue to save lives. Because the people that we serve, our beautiful friends, are Worth Saving. Each organization delivering public health services stands in solidarity against these archaic laws, practices and policies. While we may have to get flexible and creative, we will never stop. We’ve been shackled and chained to outdated laws & prohibitionist policies for decades. It’s time to break free. I am certain this will be difficult and we all need to work together. But I believe in my core that the work our organizations do, serves humanity. So we will coordinate, collaborate, organize, serve, support, advocate & keep the light on. Time to stay strong, stand tall and serve ferociously. Like a Savage.

Here it is. The #1 mistake I see advocacy organizations make on a regular basis. ➡️ Failing to claim victory! Often, leaders and communicators are so understandably exhausted after they win a legislative battle, pass a ballot measure, win in court, meet a milestone, or dominate an election that they take a break and immediately gear up for the next fight. They forget that it's VITAL to publicly reflect on the good work your team and supporters have done so far! When your goal is large-scale, world-bettering systemic change, there are going to be setbacks. That's why it's crucial to celebrate, express gratitude, and claim victory at every opportunity. 🔥 THIS is how you continuously demonstrate your value to donors and supporters. 🔥 THIS is how you keep hope alive when things get hard. If you want to build a resilient movement, celebrate, express gratitude, and claim victory loudly and publicly as often as you possibly can.
