“Equity means that I want for you what I want for myself. Equity is not selfish. As a trans woman of color, I think the more we fight for equity, the more it becomes exacerbated in the media, and people become fatigued by slogans. Many people are tired of hearing us rally for justice in an unjust world. So what do we do, where do we turn?” -Kathleen, a CLF member incarcerated in Virginia
How have you witnessed a movement for equity overcoming fatigue?
Wanting for others what you want for yourself or do unto others as you would have them do to you may not meet the needs of those who are different in the needs and values. It is hard to discern what others need. Being respectful of all as they are and being accepting of differences is one way to help the world be more equitable.
