A lot of folks understandably want organizing spaces to be spaces where harm can gain no access. But if we don't open up our spaces and ourselves to people who don't share our politics, our lived experiences, how can we actually change politics and lived experiences?

This is not to say that we should make friends with the far-right. There's gotta be a line, right? And that line will look different for different people. But something we must all commit to is to get comfortable with discomfort, with the discomfort of people making mistakes, of organizing with people we don't like, seeing rather that our goals align, and we don't have to be besties. Can we build spaces that address harm without it sidelining the organizing? Can we build spaces that acknowledge that language isn't the same as knowledge, and people can both be held accountable for missteps while being embraced as community members.

In short, can't you take a mistake?
