We are the ones

If you plan on waiting for someone else to change to world for you, you’ll likely be waiting a long time.

Meaningful change doesn’t happen in corridors of power – it happens on the street; it happens with direct action.

The initial support in a humanitarian emergency doesn’t come from a ponderous centralised system but from people on the ground responding to the crisis in an immediate and human way. There’s no bureaucracy involved, no red tape, no wages to be negotiated. It may be crude but it’s effective.

“Never depend upon institutions or government to solve any problem. All social movements are founded by, guided by, motivated and seen through by the passion of individuals.”
Margaret Mead
