  1. Thanks for this excellent letter, Sarah!

    As we grapple with this, we need to remember that racism, white patriarchy, and violence aren’t just simple individual choices. Good, well-meaning people may not realize that they are part of a system in which racism, violence, and militarism are embedded (as is the notion that property is more important than the collective good).

  2. A week ago you were calling this statement, “Powerful..” Are you now seeing the light?
