Accessibility isn’t the end goal. Belonging is.
This notion of giving voice to the voiceless – that’s, to me, very flawed. They’ve always been talking. No one’s been listening.
Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced.
If you have come to help me you are wasting your time. But if you have come because your liberation is bound up with mine, then let us work together.
We will prevail because we have proven to the world and to ourselves that we are not ‘fringe elements’ or ‘special interest groups’ or so called ‘minorities’. Without us there is no legitimate majority. We are the mainstream.
If you give me a fish, you have fed me for a day.
If you teach me to fish, you have fed me until the river is contaminated or the shoreline seized for development.
But if you teach me to organize, then whatever the challenge, I can join together with my peers and we will fashion our own solution.
Our calling is not to cross boundaries, defy restrictions or escape compartments. It is to embrace a universe that does not admit their existence.
Power comes from below / from the hidden places where it gathers / until, discovering itself, it blazes into view, lighting the sky and reshaping the landscape / sweeping away barriers it seems would stand forever.
True peace is not merely the absence of tension: it is the presence of justice.
I am no longer accepting the things I cannot change. I am changing the things I cannot accept.
Every moment is an organizing opportunity, every person a potential activist, every minute a chance to change the world.
