A screenshot of a note that details some feelings about power and solidarity, and struggles all over the world. First paragraph reads: "The Cantonese Struggle is the Taiwanese Struggle. The Taiwanese Struggle is the Uyghur Struggle. The Uyghur Struggle is the Tibetan Struggle. The Tibetan Struggle is the Congo Struggle. And the Congo Struggle is the Palestinian Struggle. So you might ask, why do I, a Cantonese-Vietnamese-American even make it my concern to do what I am able to to uplift Palestinian voices and make it something personal to me? I care because the struggles I face as a queer Asian-American connects me to the struggles of the marginalized worldwide, and Palestine has been going through it for 75 years, at least."
Second paragraph screenshot, which reads: "This is all to say that with conflict and division all over the world, we must realize and continue to reinforce one thing. It is our solidarity in resistance that helps us empower ourselves and each other. The marginalized of the world must fight for each other, to help each other fight for justice and liberation. To help each other find the peace we can have when we are finally free. We are stronger together, and think people need to realize that and utilize solidarity as the active fuel to participate in measures and activities of political resistance. We have individual power, and if we can, in our own but harmonious ways, pool that power together, we can dismantle the at times intimidating and imposing institutional power that has always sought, from day 1, to use their power to keep us all divided. Together we can burn it down and grow something new and actually better."
"Power Rooted in Solidarity"
Had to get something off my chest. We advocate, we amplify, we empower, we fight, until we are all free. ๐๐๏ธ
