This is how we preserve our own dignity. No one can stop us from being the change we want to see in the world ourselves. No one can stop us from believing in the good in people and from resisting,...

Inequality is not an accident. It’s not like the weather. It actually is being driven by the way capitalism is functioning. You know what we need?
