Image of Grace Lee Boggs by Dayana Juarez.
Living at the margins of the post industrialist capitalist order, we in Detroit are faced with a stark choice of how to develop ourselves to struggle. Should we squeeze out the last drop of life out of a failing, deteriorating, and unjust system? Or should we instead devote our creative and collective energies toward envisioning and building a radically different form of living? This is what revolutions are about.
They are about creating a new society in the places and spaces left vacant by the disintegration of the old; about evolving to a higher Humanity, not higher buildings; about the Love of one another and of the Earth, not Hate; about Hope not Despair; about saying YES to Life and NO to War; about the change we want to see in the world.”- Grace Lee Boggs and Scott Kurashige, Detroit Place and Space to Begin Anew ([link removed])
Grace Lee Boggs taught us that the revolution we seek must be two-sided, simultaneously transforming ourselves and our institutions. She emphasized that our relationships and organizations have the potential to model new ways of being that impact significant societal change.
Grace’s wisdom is one of AMP’s foundational guides that led our work to ground and root into the LOVE Building, a living, emerging container for the practice of new worlds. The LOVE Building is a vessel for this ongoing experiment of paradigm-shifting love. We honor Grace and our Detroit and Core City ancestors with the Ancestral Love, Guiding Us Forward ([link removed]) mural.
We would be delighted to have you join us for these exciting events. Bring your family, friends, and neighbors to experience the heart of The LOVE Building. We can’t wait to celebrate with you and share in the joy of this new chapter, together!
Please RSVP to let us know you’re coming! ([link removed])
