We are not powerless.
We have the numbers to right the wrongs.
The systems are broken because they are based off of control, domination, and desecration.
It is not shocking that evil continues…it is shocking we don’t rise in our numbers and communities to stop it.
We have been desensitized to the evil, it moves around us each day.
It burrows in the mind. It feeds our illusions. It forces us to fear. It coddles us in comfort. It continues the destruction. It separates us from our spirit.
It’s time to do whatever we can to call the spirit back and use our tools to find our way out of this sickness.
For our communities.
For our children.
Now is not the time to feel powerless or alone. It is not easy or comfortable.
May we use our sacred rage and grief to fuel our momentum. To transmute out of the broken.
We have all we need to take down what has been built.
Now we come together and do it.
May we believe in our prayer and put it to action.
No ONE person will do this…it takes us ALL.
— words from the Boundless Warrior *
