#LOVENOTPHEAR
Spread Love, Challenge Fear
Love
“At the risk of seeming ridiculous, let me say that the true revolutionary is guided by a great feeling of love. It is impossible to think of a genuine revolutionary lacking this quality.”
– Ernesto “Che” Guevara
Phear
“Fear is the primary force upholding structures of domination. It promotes the desire for separation, the desire not to be known. When we are taught that safety lies always with sameness, then differences, of any kind, will appear as a threat. When we choose to love we choose to move against fear — against alienation and separation. The choice to love is a choice to connect — to find ourselves in the other.”
– bell hooks
Change
“I am no longer accepting the things I cannot change. I am changing the things I cannot accept.”
– Angela Davis
