basketeer (bas-kuh-TEER)
noun
A practitioner of radical interdependence; one who rejects the lone-hero model of activism in favor of methodically interlacing disparate struggles, communities, and ideas into a coherent fabric of resistance and repair. The basketeer operates from the premise that a society's strength, like a basket's, derives not from its individual strands but from how artfully they are woven together.

To be a basketeer is to understand that your liberation is tangled up with mine and is further tangled up with the planet's, and to act accordingly: stitching, connecting, holding the tension until the whole thing holds.
Those basketeers really came to kick some systemic injustice ass! The came, they wove, they resisted, they rebuilt, they waved oppression away. Slay.
