the revolution
is here

We know that oppression is part of the fabric of our
capitalist American society.

It's time to demand justice with more than
just our words.

If the systems that divide us will not change,
we will
create our own freedom.

We will create the new world
by living our values without compromise.

We will raise our children to be healthy, whole and fully realized,
and therefore fully revolutionary by their very being.

We will be spiritual kindling
for our communities.

We will
Rise Up
in love
and
brave solidarity.

We know that self-sufficiency is revolutionary,
and that our freedom depends
on our ability to remove ourselves from the
systems
and
patterns of belief
that have oppressed and divided us
for centuries.

We will set ourselves free by knowing that
our liberation is forever tied
to
the liberation of our neighbors
and
the liberation of our Earth.

We will help our neighbors and our Earth Mother to
live free
by confronting
our own personal biases,
our own fears
and our own participation in
systems of oppression.

It's up to us.

We will not settle.
We will not stop.
