“We declare our love for all who are in harm’s way, including refugees,
immigrants, Muslims, LGBTQIAGNC people, Black people, the
indigenous, the poor, and women and girls at risk of violence. We vow
to see you as our brothers and sisters and fight by your side…We join
forces and stand together with the millions of people across the planet
who are rising to end violence against women and girls and resist racist
patriarchy. To protect women who are most often the most vulnerable
within marginalized communities. We take part in it to honor our mothers
whose bodies and beings and blood carved the path we are walking on.
WE ARE RISING — WE ARE DANCING
— TO FIND THE NEW LANGUAGE OF
THESE TIMES — BUILT ON A DEEPER
EDUCATION, RADICAL LISTENING,
HUMILITY AND EMPATHY.”
