I miss Brad.
I was so sad to hear recently that the Mexican government bungled the investigation, not a surprise, and took out further reprisals against APPO.
Being in a new city, I feel so disconnected from remembering Brad and what he represents to me. Brad for me is so wrapped up with the energy and the emotions of NYC, I say this although we were both in Miami for the FTAA protests. But, he’s connected for me with the hopes and the dreams of the revolutionary and autonomist left. A generation of dreamers that lived and breathed for a better world in NYC in the late 1990s and early 2000s.
A part of me feels like I’ve died with Brad.
