If we do not assert ourselves and enshrine our rights — and demand healthcare, and education, and dignity — the alternative is barbarism, which is what we are contending with now.
The fact that people are choosing between medicine and rent is barbarism.
The fact that people are worried about whether they will be on the streets every 4 weeks is barbarism.
The fact that every time a person has an ache or a pain, and they’re scared that it could either be a sore joint or cancer, but they can’t find out because they can’t afford the doctor? This is barbarism.
If we do not demand — and not only demand, but win — unions, healthcare, wages, and ending endless war, then we will condemn ourselves to barbarism.
I refuse to give up. I refuse to submit myself to that future. That’s not a life.
And so to live, we have to fight for each other. We have to stand with each other. We have to fight for this vision and this world.
In solidarity,
Alexandria
