"..if we are to transform and bring forth the world we deserve, it's going to take all of us. We are in a historical moment that requires us to connect with each other, expand our capacity to love and find the direct points of intervention within the system - points where public pressure can disrupt the status quo and push for change. As people who care about change, we have a responsibility to find points of intervention in our everyday lives. How do you confront systemic oppression at home, in your organization, in your community? What small, mighty actions can you take daily to move us closer to each other and the new world? Every small interaction holds the possibility of transformation." Kendra Hicks
