All living beings as individuals have an effect on one another in everything they do. Every interaction with our material and social world sets off a cascade of tipping dominos, much like the history of interactions that have brought us to the present.
In our mission to bring about a more equitable and just world, we must understand our contemporary struggles in the context of our collective international history of struggles against the inherently exploitative capitalist system.
The context of our birth is not something we had a choice in. Had fate decided it, we would have been born in the shoes of Emmett Till in 1950's Mississippi, Anne Frank in 1940's Germany, or Hind Rajab in present day Palestine. Through learning the history of our collective struggles, the importance of international solidarity in the struggle for a more equitable world becomes evidently clear.
“I cannot sit idly by in Atlanta and not be concerned about what happens in Birmingham. Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.”
- Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. (Letter from a Birmingham Jail -
April 1963)
In order to solve a problem, we must first understand it. In an effort to educate the community, we host documentary screenings open to the public. As the organization grows, we plan on expanding education programs.
As a way to both become more acquianted with our community and grow the organization, we host recreational community events where we provide food, fun, and the opportunity to provide input for and ask questions about the organization.
