We need more people to sand up and openly share about the injustices that they witness. So often, I see people misrepresent their feelings of discomfort regarding community behavior as their own problem, rather than a problem of the whole, and repress or ignore those feelings so that they do not appear to be problematic... Ignoring the problems makes you the problem. Community will only thrive when every member of community is working to hold that community accountable to its highest potential. I believe the state and system has to fall in order to create a world grounded in politics of consent, respect, and community, so I believe this kind of frantic scrambling and turmoil is healthy. A movement that operates in solidarity with frontline communities does more than tweet about it. A movement that supports those who are seen as nothing but collateral damage to the system does more than network with them. We’re going to have to get out of our chairs and off our computers. We’re going to have to get real.
