Move

Posted by PJ under movements, quote of the day, racism, voting
No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“Systemic racism can have an ending. Police brutality can have an ending. Economic repression of black and brown people can have an ending. A movement without action is a movement standing still. To those who say they care: Move more than your mouth. Move your feet to the polls, and use your hands to vote.”

—Stevie Wonder, YouTube video, “The Universe Is Watching Us,” June 23, 2020

Teach

Posted by PJ under action and activism, quote of the day, teachers
No Comments

Random quote of the day:

“I think that it’s much more important to do than to say. And you learn that a lot from your kids, who are watching you, you know? Living by example—that’s always a better teacher than trying to preach. You should do what you’re supposed to do and hope that that ripples out. And speak up when you’re supposed to, as opposed to trying to write prescriptions for the way people should live.”

—Don Cheadle, interviewed by Maranda Pleasant for Origin Magazine, May 1, 2014
