“Waking up each morning and imagining that I/we can and need to join that long road that thousands of dreamers have created over the course of centuries of struggles, resistances and rebellions; a road towards a world in which racism, sexism, classism, subordination, violence and marginalization are only old memories of bitter pasts, weaving emotions, dreams, practices and urgencies for the future”
