When I think about the joy of being an activist, I recall anarchist and feminist activist Emma Goldman’s brilliant critique of the dour left, famously paraphrased in the 1970s slogan, “If I can’t dance, I don’t want to be part of your revolution.” And I think of the moments of ecstatic togetherness that I’ve experienced in the midst of protest, as with Occupy Oakland’s port shutdown in 2011.
