Handed out flyers for a Black Power rally at a "Selma" screening downtown.
If you haven't gone to see it, please do. It's inspiring, and beautifully captures what power we have if we choose to take it. It may be hard. It may be brutally hard. But if each of us takes to the fight in whatever way we can, we can effect change. There will always be hope if we reach for it.
I am loving getting out there and doing things. I've been wanting to start working with the activist community for a while now. I recently begun attending meetings at the ISO Puget Sound chapter, and met a lot of good people there. There's a rally that's coming up on MLK day and a march after that I'm really looking forward to, as well as a protest. I'm most excited to go to a community panel that includes John Carlos as one of it's speakers.
Change is happening. We can all feel it. People are becoming unsettled. They're paying attention. Please, go out and do what you can. We are many, and they are few, and we can win. We can and will. But we have to struggle. We have to fight.
Make a difference.
