I had my first midterm tonight. My next is tomorrow at 8:45 am. Plenty more coming. I just watched a tragic documentary about the South Central community garden. This movie is about the environment in that it portrays urban agriculture, something I think every city should do. But more importantly, this film is about an injustice, and the destruction of these peoples' farm. I have always wanted a commune, of my own. Or at the very least a garden. I'll start my farm someday. But for now I want to remind people that changing our lifestyles and culture is important, but with it we must take action, with solidarity. Of course, we need to oust Steven Harper from power, first of all. The point is that the tide is turning slowly towards sustainability, but global inequality and governmental corruption are things that need to end. The time is now to really look at what's going on around you. The choices we make as to where we buy things from, how wasteful we are, and how we live our lives have never been more important. But we also need to become informed people, who check our facts, research the details, and hold ourselves responsible for our own decisions. You can make a difference.
Everyone should feel empowered. You are entitled to your rights and freedoms. You are entitled to food, water, shelter, respect, work, and peace. You should be proud to live and do right by your friends, family, and community. And you should have the courage and resolve to fight for your rights.
