Danielle Sered
“Perhaps one of the greatest harms the criminal justice system has done is persuaded us that we do not know how to solve the problems that arise between and amongst us. We have been taught that our experience is inconsequential in comparison to the evidence the "experts" present, and that the strategies we gravitate towards instinctively--calling each other's families first instead of the police, addressing the underlying causes of people's behavior, requiring people to give back to those they harmed--are somehow not only wrong, but socially irresponsible.”
Danielle Sered, Until We Reckon: Violence, Mass Incarceration, and a Road to Repair

Audre Lorde
“I respect the time I spend each day treating my body, and I consider it part of my political work. It is possible to have some conscious input into our physical processes–not expecting the impossible, but allowing for the unexpected–a kind of training in self-love and physical resistance.”
Audre Lorde, A Burst of Light

Kiese Laymon
“Ain’t nothing in the world worse than looking at your children drowning, knowing ain’t nothing you can do because scared that if you get to trying to save them, they might see that you can swim either.”
Kiese Laymon , Heavy

Audre Lorde
“Battling racism and battling heterosexist and battling apartheid share the same urgency inside me as battling cancer. None of these struggles are ever easy, and even the smallest victory is never to be taken for granted. Each victory must be applauded, because it is so easy not to battle at all, to just accept and call that acceptance inevitable.
And all power is relative. Recognizing the existence as well as the limitations of my own power, and accepting the responsibility for using it in my own behalf, involve me in direct and daily actions that preclude denial as possible refuge. Simone de Beauvoir’s words echo in my head: “It is in the recognition of the genuine conditions of our lives that we gain the strength to act and our motivation for change.”
Audre Lorde, A Burst of Light

Rebecca Solnit
“Most of us would say, if asked, that we live in a capitalist society, but vast amounts of how we live our everyday lives - our interactions with and commitments to family lives, friendships, avocations, membership in social, spiritual and political organizations-are in essence noncapitalist or even anticapitalist, full of things we do for free, out of love, and on principle.”
rebecca solnit, Hope in the Dark: Untold Histories, Wild Possibilities
