Sustained movement undermines the powers that oppress. In the face of injustice and its insidious cousin, indifference, may we amplify joy. May there be music, may there be singing, may there be dancing. May we set our wings aflame and take to the sky. May we send messages of resistance and love through the airwaves and may we build monuments that reach the heavens. And if these monuments should collapse, may we revel in the beauty that remains. May we do this again and again.
