Reclaim. Resist. Rise Up! For Justice. For Equity. For A Future To Be Possible. #MarchOnWashington #MarchOnLansing #SisterMarch
#WhyIMarch
For those who came before me — for their sacrifices, suffering, and will to survive.
It’s in my DNA to give a damn!
I embody privilege and risk as an educated cis-hetero black woman who is the daughter of an immigrant, a mother to a multi-ethnic child, a wife in an interfaith, inter-racial marriage to a survivor of gun violence who lives with a disability.
I cannot, do not, will not co-sign craziness.
For my beloveds and for all the beloveds in generations to come to inherit an Earth that has been restored to wholeness and where integrity, compassion, wisdom, creativity, and deep listening are society’s leading values .
To call out unmitigated and unexamined whiteness, which in its denial of privilege and refusal to take accountability for oppressions and inequities, creates a toxicity that corrodes what unites us.
Because corruption and complacency are killing us.
To build our capacity as a spiritually resilient community that cultivates and protects justice, freedom, and equity through compassionate, creative, innovative and skillful understanding and actions.
To be a beacon of light as a community of refuge and resistance against hate, violence, inequity and oppression.
For Justice, Liberation + Healing!
Today, we march. Tomorrow, we rest, take refuge and restore ourselves to rise up and to take action again.
