The Panthers did free before school breakfast and after school babysitting and all sorts of actual community building like that. The PSL does protests and craft events and that's it. I guess providing consistent services is an order of magnitude more difficult than organizing marches but it just doesn't seem like the marches are getting us anywhere.

The Revolutionary Blackout folks all do organizing as well, they feed people, give out clothes and other necessities, and are even building a community library. They're expressly following the example of Fred Hampton and the Panthers. So there's another podcast/YouTube channel that walks the walk.

Thanks for reminding me of that one. I enjoyed a few episodes before the Youtube algorithm buried it.
