“If there’s no such thing as a Bad Guy out there somewhere, then it’s clear why our fear-based system of dehumanization is failing to keep us safe: we can’t get to lasting safety by insulating ourselves from mythical external threats with border walls; we can’t get to real safety by expelling or confining certain kinds of people…. We can’t run from ourselves. The answer to safety is always closer rather than farther away. Only together can we create safety.” -Zach Norris, in Defund Fear
