Influences
Ideas that inspired the movement
Rev. angel Kyodo williams
Writer, activist, and ordained Zen priest
"Not because we are friends or lovers or because we share a common social network, but because we know and share a common knowledge that the personal is political, but the impersonal is powerful. Our greatest liability is thinking we have to go it alone. That we should trust no one. That no one gets us, or our struggle."
Radical Dharma: Talking Race, Love, and Liberation
- Book by Jasmine Syedullah, Lama Rod Owens, and angel Kyodo williams, 2016
Baba Dioum
Senegalese forestry engineer and conservationist
"In the end we will conserve only what we love, we will love only what we understand, and we will understand only what we are taught".
Presented to the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN) - Paper by Baba Dioum, 1968
Angela Davis
Philosopher, scholar, author, civil rights advocate, and Black Panther activist
“Neoliberal ideology drives us to focus on individuals, ourselves, individual victims, individual perpetrators. But how is it possible to solve the massive problem of racist state violence by calling upon individual police officers to bear the burden of that history and to assume that by prosecuting them, by exacting our revenge on them, we would have somehow made progress in eradicating racism."
