Today's been a long day, but I feel good about it. Working hard in solidarity with those who share my passion. It feels great. I'm not allowing myself to be bombarded or overwhelmed by the ills of the world. I am focused and using my power (my ability to make things happen) to the ump-teenth capacity in the way I can deliver it best: through this youth work and organizing. I'm in touch with the struggle, it's real and I'm in it. This is my tension. I know everytime I challenge a student to think critically about an issue, I'm agitating the system.
Sometimes it's not about working on every issue, knowing about every issue, advocating for every individual issue. Sometimes it's about fighting injustice and agitating right where you're at, with what you got; using your power and whatever your gift is as a conductor for that power to reach and teach others and yourself. Education happens everywhere and power is relational. Believe that. Achieve that.
Yeah mon.
Solidarity.
