What is clear 1, though, is that there need to be efforts to organise “small-tent” progressive spaces/movements that bring in people across identities. This means they should be based primarily on values and not solely be focused on identities 2. This is not about elections, we need to think in 10 / 20 / 30 / 50 year horizons 3.
