“‘We’ is the most important word in the social justice vocabulary. The issue is not what we can’t do, but what we Can do when we stand together.

William Barber, leader of the nationally-recognized North Carolina Moral Mondays movement. “The problems we are dealing with are not going to be solved until there is a radical redistribution of economic and political power.”
