The right to be here

“It took many years of vomiting up all the filth I’d been taught about myself, and half-believed, before I was able to walk on the earth as though I had a right to be here.” (James Baldwin)

You have the right to be here.

You have the right to breathe, live, feel, act, love, speak, be seen, heard and respected.

We are taught only some of us are worthy. Some are “chosen.” This is deception. This is hierachy and patriarchy, capitalism and corruption. Scarcity and racism are lies we are taught to believe. That anyone is less than because of their skin, gender, intellect, orientation. What defines us as less is our actions. Cruelty, intolerance, ignorance.

All BIPOC All LGTBQ have a right to be here.

You have the right to be here. May our work together get to the roots of these out dated systems and beliefs.
