We should recognize the particulars of racial, gendered, disabled, LBGTQIA+—yes, the whole gamut of woke oppressions—and avoid mystifying abstraction. It is precisely the moment in which those “woke” particulars are under attack that we should grasp more tightly to solidaristic political action founded on that recognition that what divides us materially can unite us politically. A project in which universalism is not an imposition to fall in line with, but a goal to struggle towards. Rather than celebrate the death of woke, I say we revive and herald it."
