Remember
your power! How does unjust power keep going?
Mostly, by persuading the majority to give up
ours. The most common way that an external authority
perpetuates itself is by persuading the rest of
us to abandon our internal authority.
Consider the changes made
by women's movements here and around the world
in just a few decades. Historians say they are
wider and and deeper than the Industrial Revolution.
Now project that
same degree of transformation into the future.
Imagining change is the first step toward creating
it.
If we sometimes fail, it's still
true that, no matter how difficult, trying to do something
is easier than not trying to do it-- and then being
left to wonder, "What if?" When we succeed,
we've multiplied our strength for the next time.
Remember. The art of behaving effectively
is behaving as if everything we do matters. Because
it does.
