The Part You Didn't See: A Collective Account of Operation Metro Surge
by Eryn O'Neil | at Minnebar20
No one saw all of it. Operation Metro Surge was too large, too fast, and too deliberately decentralized for any single person to have witnessed the whole thing. But collectively, we did. This session is an attempt to build that collective account, drawing on local and national reporting and firsthand testimony, and to make sense of what it revealed. The community response that emerged wasn't spontaneous. It was built, over months and years, by organizers most of us weren't paying attention to. Understanding that is what lets us see where things stand now: what's continued, what's changed, and how the infrastructure that got us through this one gets us through the next.
