I have been having a lot of thoughts, a lot of feelings, a lot of everything lately! I\u2019ve got about 5 blog posts in different stages of completion, but I love the ones that just pop out with barely any effort.<\/p>\nI have been having a lot of thoughts, a lot of feelings, a lot of everything lately! I\u2019ve got about 5 blog posts in different stages of completion, but I love the ones that just pop out with barely any effort.<\/p>\n
This is one of those.<\/p>\n
I had this idea. It\u2019s based on something I believe, but for some reason I finally played it out a little further. It must be because I\u2019m opening up to a new narrative<\/em>, new ideas, new ways of imagining the future and how we get there and what actions to take now.<\/p>\n As an activist concerned with full equality<\/em>, the only action that makes any sense is that based on supporting the disenfranchised and underprivileged of our society. Currently there are a number of communities who fit this bill, but the most<\/strong> privilege-challenged are the black community, the native American community and the trans community. Structurally speaking these communities are getting largely shorted.<\/p>\n So my proposal is that ALL disenfranchised communities<\/strong> (lgbtqi, disabled, religious minorities, elders, women, all ethnic minorities, etc\u2026) make the Black, the Native American and the Trans communities A PRIORITY.<\/em> if ALL the underprivileged communities united and supported these 3 communities in the ways they asked for, I believe we would make fast progress and we would create powerful alliances.<\/p>\n Once we create some solid ground there, we would then turn our attention to our next most challenged community and throw ALL OUR SUPPORT their way. However, I imagine supporting equality for our most challenged would have a trickle up effect and make any other efforts all the more easy and swift!<\/p>\n The part about ALL underprivileged communities uniting<\/strong> is the part I finally played out in my imagination. I always saw it in the back of my mind, but it\u2019s like it came to the foreground and became more real. A new narrative rising!<\/p>\n I focus on children\u2019s books. They are my preferred tool of transformation. What\u2019s yours? Everyone has something to offer! The revolution is always now. xomaya<\/p>\n (Image by Alexander Girard)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I have been having a lot of thoughts, a lot of feelings, a lot of everything lately!
