Longish article and thread on combatting racism inside and out.
I appeal to you to have the courage to intervene, to ensure that the
oppressor is held accountable and the victim is protected, to enact those
principles and values that not only protect lives but that also imbue life
with the human qualities that make it worth living. Despite our
overwhelming pain, we have not surrendered to the forces of occupation,
colonization, racism, and dehumanization - nor have we adopted their moral
distortions. I ask you also not to succumb, but to maintain and enhance the
struggle for dignity, equality, freedom, and justice as an act of
collective affirmation on behalf of humanity as a whole.Hanan Ashwari.
