RESPECT EXISTENCE
OR
EXPECT RESISTANCE

Who is holy?

After a lifetime of being told by old white men

what is right or wrong

what is true or false

what is history

what is important

and what is sacred,

I have decided to listen to other voices. The voices…

of women

of people of color

of queer and two-spirit people

of nature.

All of these voices ask me to use my white, cis, and economic privilege, to amplify their voices. Their struggles are our struggles

Some of us hear these voices and see the signs of climate disaster now.

It is never too late to alleviate suffering and to fight for a better world.
