Find the wins where you can.
I was out flyering with some comrades recently. We were handing out BDS flyers outside grocery stores trying to get people to avoid certain products. Most people were friendly or neutral, a couple were snippy but nothing crazy.
But the one encounter I'm going to hold onto is the woman who took my last flyer. She was an older lady who was driven to the curb right beside the store entrance. I handed her my last flyer and said "we're supporting Palestine today"
She stopped.
"Did you say support Palestine?"
"Yes"
A slow, warm smile formed.
"I'm Palestinian. Thank you."
You never know when you will make someone's day just by being out there. Hope you are feeling better Comrade! heart-sickle
