Everyday on Twitter I watch activists beg for money for medical costs. Activists I adore, activists who ran huge campaigns between 2008-2013

I watch the activists of my generation - activists I worked with - serve out jail terms, struggle with mental health issues & paying bills

Oh wait, I get it, you're looking for a non-hustling activist leader. Like Gandhi or Jesus or Buddha. Let me know when you find them
