I'm involved in reformist struggles like media reform. I work with a liberal media reform group here in Kansas City. But my goal is anarchist revolution in my lifetime, preferably in the next 20 years so I can "retire" to enjoy the fruits of our collective work. Most of my work revolves around laying the groundwork and doing the organizing to make those long term goals possible. At the same time, I participate in reformist campaigns. They may not be totally cool, but if they get results, they make a small difference in people's lives and help carve out space for more radical change.
