Resist & Recognize
“It is essential to resist the depiction of history as the work of heroic individuals in order for people today to recognize their potential agency as a part of an ever-expanding community of struggle.” – Angela Davis
We are all needed in the struggle. We cannot wait for one person, a president, a revolutionary, a celebrity, a super hero, to save us. This has never been true, every "hero" had their support system and their team behind and beside them.
It supports the myth of this hierachal, supremist culture to think there can only be one savior. It feeds the ego, either as being better than or less than, everyone else.
We all are responsible for our freedom, the freedom of our brother and sister, our grand children and their children.
It is laziness and selfishness to feel like you can't do anything, because every single one of has something to offer the continual fight for freedom, for truth, for joy, for justice.
Resist the stories and recognize your potential agency.
