Quote by Rasheed Newson

“I believe God gives us different missions to perform. It is not everyone’s calling to face evil as I have. If you learn tonight that this is not your calling, the true shame would be if you fail to go forward and find out how else you can serve the cause.”

Activism requires both a clear-eyed understanding of how systems of power work and a forceful vision of the future. By offering images of vulnerability, collectivity, and resilience, art can be an indispensable partner in this project.”

“When you spend money on something, the transaction is about more than you exchanging your money for some goods or service. That money is also a de facto endorsement of the business you're giving it to. By giving money to a business, like it or not, you're telling that business that you approve of the way they do things. One way to resist Amazon, other than (of course) not buying things from them, is to instead give money to businesses whose practices are better than Amazon. A bit of research can help you find businesses with unionized workers, businesses with high wages, employee-owned businesses, and businesses who work to reduce their impact on the environment. This is a form of advocacy you can enact every day.”
