We place ourselves in the presence of each other
We are all connected
We are stronger together
We are the hands and voices and bodies of justice in the world
We are responsible for one another and for the earth
We resist like Marsha P Johnson and Sylvia Rivera and Pauli Murray
We persist like Laverne and Janet and Cece and Miss Major
We write like Maya and Alice and Gloria and Zora
We create like Frida and Audre and Gabriela
May the fiery memories and legacies of our ancestors, transcestors, and queercestors
spark us into action today and tomorrow and always.
