This notion of giving voice to the voiceless – that’s, to me, very flawed. They’ve always been talking. No one’s been listening.

America Ferrera

I am no longer accepting the things I cannot change. I am changing the things I cannot accept.

Angela Davis

Accessibility isn’t the end goal. Belonging is.

Carrie Basas, Fakequity

Every moment is an organizing opportunity, every person a potential activist, every minute a chance to change the world.

Dolores Huerta

Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced.

James Baldwin

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.

June Jordan

True peace is not merely the absence of tension: it is the presence of justice.

Martin Luther King, Jr

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.

Ricardo Levins Morales

If you give me a fish, you have fed me for a day.
