El lamento, el arrepentimiento y la oración de Adviento de un pastor blanco… Cyon Edgerton

A white pastor’s lament, repentance, and Advent prayer… Cyon Edgerton

We have chosen politics and progress over peace.

We have chosen success over your Spirit.

¿Qué es un Sistema de supremacía Racial? - Gabriela Ituarte

Generalmente al escuchar estas palabras pensamos en personas rapadas, con barbas largas y suásticas tatuadas, empuñando la bandera confederada de los Estado Unidos, gritando a todo pulmón que odian a las personas de color.

A mis compañeros inmigrantes - Rachel Anna Smart

Enviaré mi nariz de regreso a Polonia.

Mis manos de regreso a Inglaterra.

To my fellow immigrants. - Rachel Anna Smart

My hands back to England.  

I’ll send some of my skin back to Germany and some of my hair back to Scotland.

But my heart... I’ll keep that in Nəxʷq̓iyt.

With all the love and anger of my Seya still flowing in it.

Pertenencia y Comunidad y cómo eso puede llegar a la justicia - Darryl Riley

“Ya tuve suficiente de la propaganda…. Estoy a favor de la verdad, no importa quién la diga. Estoy a favor de la justicia, sin importar quién esté a favor o en contra. Soy un ser humano ante todo y, como tal, estoy para QUIEN y CUALQUIER cosa beneficie a la “comunidad” en su conjunto”.  Malcolm X
