It is about educating ourselves and the people 8 00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:55,960 Speaker 1: around us about systemic oppressions, about creating the level of 9 00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:59,200 Speaker 1: consciousness that it takes in order to imagine and create 10 00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:04,080 Speaker 1: new world outside of where we have been living and existing. 11 00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:11,800 Speaker 1: I think that where we are right now is in 12 00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:16,720 Speaker 1: an extraordinarily low vibrational place. What do I mean by that? 13 00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:22,920 Speaker 1: I mean that when you look around, everything and everywhere 14 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:34,720 Speaker 1: is just wrapped in hatred, in violence. We are watching 15 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:38,959 Speaker 1: what is not normal, folks. And I've been thinking about this. 16 00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:48,480 Speaker 1: Netanyahu spoke this week, you know, hailing his massacre of 17 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:55,040 Speaker 1: thousands of children and folks. Let me preface this by 18 00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:57,760 Speaker 1: saying again that I as I every time that I 19 00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:01,000 Speaker 1: talk about Israel and Palestine. I am not a foreign 20 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:05,160 Speaker 1: affairs expert. I am not an expert on the Middle East. 21 00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:08,960 Speaker 1: I am not a historian. What I offer to you 22 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:14,959 Speaker 1: is my own opinion based on my experience fighting for 23 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 1: justice and the liberation of all peoples. How do I 24 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:24,799 Speaker 1: do that through my microphone? Through education? Right, I see 25 00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 1: myself as a teacher, and I'm not going to get 26 00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:35,520 Speaker 1: into a back and forth about who is right or 27 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:38,760 Speaker 1: who is wrong. Where I stand is on the side 28 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:42,960 Speaker 1: of humanity, is on the side that tells us, with 29 00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:49,280 Speaker 1: all of the technological advances that we are making, that 30 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:55,240 Speaker 1: war is our only answer. War killing of thousands of 31 00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:58,079 Speaker 1: people is how we think that we're going to advance 32 00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 1: peace and democracy. That in all of the evolution that 33 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 1: we have done and have seen around the world, right, 34 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:15,799 Speaker 1: that our war mongering minds are still in their rectilian state. 35 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:26,880 Speaker 1: We have been brainwashed into believing that when aggression shows itself, 36 00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:34,160 Speaker 1: aggression can only be met with aggression. And you know, 37 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 1: I've had people tweet at me and post at me, 38 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,800 Speaker 1: and I will trust, trust and believe I've removed shit 39 00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 1: with the quickness. I There is not a democracy on 40 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,800 Speaker 1: my social media page. Let me put it that way, right, 41 00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,760 Speaker 1: you say some hot shit to me or to people 42 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:57,720 Speaker 1: that are commenting, you will be blocked but the reality 43 00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,720 Speaker 1: is that people are saying, you know, well, you've told 44 00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,720 Speaker 1: America not to invade. You know, in World War Two, 45 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 1: do you know that it took six million people to 46 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:13,040 Speaker 1: be dead, six million Jewish people right to be murdered, 47 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:17,279 Speaker 1: for the United States to intervene, And that what we 48 00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:20,640 Speaker 1: are witnessing right now. Just mind you, just mind you. Right, 49 00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:25,800 Speaker 1: in World War Two, there was no social media, right, 50 00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:30,520 Speaker 1: you relied on photographers on the ground to be able 51 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:35,359 Speaker 1: to then send those pictures back. We are watching war 52 00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:44,520 Speaker 1: and murder, right did deaths of children in real fucking time? 53 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:51,000 Speaker 1: Bombs go off? We are seeing the videos instantly. That's 54 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:56,080 Speaker 1: not normal. It is not normal for us to literally 55 00:04:56,160 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 1: be taking in the trauma and the devastation of war 56 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:04,000 Speaker 1: in real time. And so do I believe that the 57 00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:07,720 Speaker 1: outrage that we are seeing people have around the world 58 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:11,680 Speaker 1: is absolutely supported by what they are seeing with their 59 00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:16,800 Speaker 1: own eyes and the fact, frankly, that they are losing 60 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:22,320 Speaker 1: what was already on shaky ground, which was the trust 61 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:26,279 Speaker 1: of their elected leaders, whether they are their prime ministers 62 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:32,360 Speaker 1: or their presidents. I watched a post go up. I 63 00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:34,599 Speaker 1: can't remember what side it was on because a friend 64 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:36,919 Speaker 1: send it to me and it was like this reporting 65 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:42,719 Speaker 1: that was not validated, right, that said that their shamas 66 00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:47,920 Speaker 1: had beheaded. You know, this woman, one of the concertgoers, right, 67 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:54,080 Speaker 1: wasn't seen like verified anywhere, right, but it's flying around 68 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:56,479 Speaker 1: social media. And I got to tell you that the 69 00:05:56,560 --> 00:06:00,640 Speaker 1: comments shocked me because the comments that people are just like, 70 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:04,200 Speaker 1: we don't believe a fucking word that is being said here, 71 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 1: like this is all propaganda and it hasn't been verified anywhere. 72 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:13,880 Speaker 1: So people are aware, right, We're all becoming really aware 73 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:18,040 Speaker 1: that we're being played, right, that we are being played 74 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:23,400 Speaker 1: and our sympathies are being played and manipulated. Because here's 75 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:27,360 Speaker 1: where I stand. I don't care how a child prays. 76 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 1: I don't care what they look like. I don't care 77 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:34,920 Speaker 1: what their sexual orientation or their gender identity is. You 78 00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:38,159 Speaker 1: have the right to fucking exist by virtue of the 79 00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 1: fact that you were born. You have the right to 80 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:50,880 Speaker 1: exist free, free from violence, with self determination that should 81 00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:56,680 Speaker 1: not have caveats. And what I have witnessed from our 82 00:06:56,839 --> 00:07:11,560 Speaker 1: own government, who those hands are so fucking bloody right now, 83 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:17,280 Speaker 1: is the justification of what many are saying are the 84 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:27,800 Speaker 1: breaking of international law. Israel is using chemical weapons, Israel 85 00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:33,920 Speaker 1: is bombing densely populated areas. Israel had turned Gaza into 86 00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:39,240 Speaker 1: a prison open air where borders from c to the 87 00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:42,800 Speaker 1: other side to the other side are locked down. Those 88 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:47,000 Speaker 1: people have nowhere to evacuate to. So when I heard 89 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:53,160 Speaker 1: Secretary Blincoln talk about the fact, well, israel Is told 90 00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:58,000 Speaker 1: the folks in Gaza that they should evacuate, maybe maybe 91 00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:01,320 Speaker 1: you should offer up the true truth, which is that 92 00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:05,320 Speaker 1: there's nowhere to evacuate too, because guess what, the United 93 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:10,160 Speaker 1: States hasn't called for open humanitarian corridors so that those 94 00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:13,480 Speaker 1: people can get the fuck out of harm's way. That's 95 00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:18,280 Speaker 1: what the United States hasn't done. So you're not telling 96 00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:21,840 Speaker 1: the truth. Net Nyahu said, get out of the north 97 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,680 Speaker 1: and go south, and then you bomb the south. You 98 00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:26,400 Speaker 1: bomb the south, You tell the people to go back 99 00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:27,840 Speaker 1: to the north, they go back to the north. You 100 00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:32,360 Speaker 1: bomb the North. They are bombing refugee camps, they are 101 00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:37,000 Speaker 1: bombing residential areas. They have already been fifty nine United 102 00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:43,760 Speaker 1: Nations employees that have been killed by airstrikes, thousands, thousands 103 00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:49,280 Speaker 1: of children dead in three weeks. And I'm listening to 104 00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:54,360 Speaker 1: the President of the United States and the Secretary tell 105 00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:59,480 Speaker 1: me that that's okay, that that is just a byproduct 106 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:02,760 Speaker 1: of what it takes for independence and people having their 107 00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:08,000 Speaker 1: own you're defending yourself against children, That's what you're defending 108 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:11,600 Speaker 1: yourself against. That's what we should be giving fourteen billion 109 00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:18,240 Speaker 1: of our dollars towards. I continue to say, I continue 110 00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:26,240 Speaker 1: to say that what is happening right now is the 111 00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:33,000 Speaker 1: biggest erosion of faith and support in this current administration. 112 00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:38,440 Speaker 1: And they don't realize it. They do not realize that 113 00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:45,360 Speaker 1: young people Generation Z right, forty seven year old millennials right, 114 00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:51,600 Speaker 1: are not interested in having our money go to the 115 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:58,120 Speaker 1: murder of children and call that self defense. That black 116 00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:04,200 Speaker 1: people and brown people in this country who know through 117 00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:13,560 Speaker 1: our genes over generations, the language the justification for our lynchings, 118 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:19,480 Speaker 1: our murder, our rape, our incarceration is the same fucking 119 00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:23,840 Speaker 1: language that's being used. I saw an ABC News article 120 00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:27,360 Speaker 1: that I posted that said, Oh, there is looting that 121 00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:32,440 Speaker 1: is happening, looting when people have nothing, Are you fucking 122 00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:36,320 Speaker 1: kidding me? So they should want to leave money behind 123 00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:38,640 Speaker 1: as they run for their lives from a series of 124 00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:44,280 Speaker 1: bombs that are dropping. Are you fucking dumb? The same 125 00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:50,280 Speaker 1: language that they use during Katrina to say that, and 126 00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:53,520 Speaker 1: the same language that DeSantis used when the looting starts. 127 00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:57,880 Speaker 1: The shooting starts to justific justify murder of innocent people 128 00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:02,120 Speaker 1: that are trying to just get are bare fucking necessities met. 129 00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:09,560 Speaker 1: We're not stupid. And in fact, the world really is watching, 130 00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:18,840 Speaker 1: and you're watching protests, marches take place everywhere in this 131 00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:24,240 Speaker 1: country and in cities around the world. I'm watching people 132 00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:29,960 Speaker 1: get fired for saying that there should be a cease fire, 133 00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:36,920 Speaker 1: people get fired for saying that we must come up 134 00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:40,960 Speaker 1: with a better way. These smart, smart people that are 135 00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:45,959 Speaker 1: developing technological advancements and creating policy around it, you can't 136 00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:51,840 Speaker 1: think of anything better than bombing children, hospitals, refugee camps, 137 00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:55,280 Speaker 1: and don't get me started on the fucking part and 138 00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:58,280 Speaker 1: parcel of the hospital. And tell me, well, Daniella was that, 139 00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:01,320 Speaker 1: I don't give a fuck. I don't give a fuck 140 00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:08,920 Speaker 1: because the distraction is in the oh, well, we dropped 141 00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:13,880 Speaker 1: seven thousand bombs, but that one that wasn't us. I 142 00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:20,559 Speaker 1: don't care. What I care about is watching the erasure 143 00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:24,720 Speaker 1: of an entire people in real time. What I care 144 00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:32,720 Speaker 1: is that this week Secretary of State Anthony Blincoln sat 145 00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:37,439 Speaker 1: down before the Senate Appropriations Committee gave his testimony, was 146 00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:42,320 Speaker 1: interrupted multiple times by activists and protesters shout out to 147 00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:49,080 Speaker 1: them asking for another fourteen billion dollars of our money 148 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:55,040 Speaker 1: to go to war with a people that have nothing, 149 00:12:56,640 --> 00:13:04,000 Speaker 1: literally nothing. I will tell you, folks that the reason 150 00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:08,320 Speaker 1: why I believe right now that the far right, this 151 00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:12,600 Speaker 1: anti Semitic group of people, you know Marjorie Taylor Green 152 00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:16,760 Speaker 1: with her Jewish space lasers, and the comments that have 153 00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:20,040 Speaker 1: been made and said that caught on tape right from 154 00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:23,960 Speaker 1: elected officials on the right, the reason why they are 155 00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:28,760 Speaker 1: so staunchly supporting Israel right now is because what is happening, 156 00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:33,920 Speaker 1: what they're giving a grain light to, is exactly what 157 00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:38,960 Speaker 1: the white evangelical quote unquote Christian nationalists would like to 158 00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:42,520 Speaker 1: be able to do in America. And that's what their 159 00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:48,559 Speaker 1: plans are. If they win in twenty twenty four, there 160 00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:53,079 Speaker 1: will be no constitution, there will be no freedom of speech, 161 00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:58,160 Speaker 1: there will be no freedom to assembly. There will be blacklists, 162 00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:04,240 Speaker 1: there will be open air prisons, there will be the 163 00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:11,520 Speaker 1: carting off and the imprisonment of anyone like myself who 164 00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:15,520 Speaker 1: speaks out. We will be labeled as enemies of the 165 00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:20,320 Speaker 1: state put away, locked away right for the quote unquote 166 00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:29,280 Speaker 1: safety of everyone else. Everything that has been happening in 167 00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:36,320 Speaker 1: Israel and Palestine over the last fifty plus years is 168 00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:41,520 Speaker 1: what America would have looked like had the Civil Rights 169 00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:49,840 Speaker 1: Act not disrupt the desire for white supremacy and the 170 00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:58,360 Speaker 1: criminalization of all black people. We had a Supreme Court, activists, fighters, 171 00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:04,520 Speaker 1: leaders that were assassin during that time period because they 172 00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:13,160 Speaker 1: wanted right to remain separate and unequal. They wanted a 173 00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:20,720 Speaker 1: multi track quote unquote democracy, democracy for white Americans, servitude 174 00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:29,320 Speaker 1: and oppression for Black Americans and everyone else. I saw 175 00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:33,840 Speaker 1: with my own eyes when I went to Israel in Palestine, 176 00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:40,840 Speaker 1: and I said, oh my god, they this is what 177 00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:47,240 Speaker 1: we exported. We exported hate, we exported segregation, we exported violence, 178 00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:55,680 Speaker 1: and they put their own little spin on it and 179 00:15:55,720 --> 00:16:03,520 Speaker 1: then created a narrative that a loud for it to persist, 180 00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:10,200 Speaker 1: this two tiered system and be hailed as a democracy 181 00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:15,320 Speaker 1: of the Middle East. How sway, how how did that work? 182 00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:25,240 Speaker 1: Democracies mean that everyone is free, not some people. I 183 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:34,920 Speaker 1: where we are as a globe is terrifying. You are 184 00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:46,160 Speaker 1: watching the formation of new axes of evil, right You're 185 00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:50,200 Speaker 1: watching Russia make moves and Iran make moves, and China 186 00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:57,320 Speaker 1: make moves, because, let me tell you, the longer that 187 00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:06,600 Speaker 1: this parade of bomb happens in Israel and Palestine, you 188 00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:13,240 Speaker 1: are gonna watch Biden's numbers tank, you are gonna watch 189 00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:21,000 Speaker 1: growing outrage in this country, and there's going to be 190 00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:26,080 Speaker 1: no one that is going to carry the blame outside 191 00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:30,119 Speaker 1: of the Biden administration that is trying to get reelected 192 00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:35,919 Speaker 1: and in doing so, trying to cast the Trump administration 193 00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:40,560 Speaker 1: as anti democratic, which they are, as dangerous, which they are, 194 00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:45,800 Speaker 1: as white supremacists, which they are. But then if you're 195 00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:52,639 Speaker 1: offering up an alternative that doesn't recognize the humanity of 196 00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:56,600 Speaker 1: all people, what you are going to have is a 197 00:17:56,640 --> 00:18:00,399 Speaker 1: bunch of folks be like so, I'm just not gonna vote, 198 00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:06,800 Speaker 1: which will open the door to the final, the final 199 00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:15,600 Speaker 1: call of fascism in America, where everything, every agency, every realm, 200 00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:19,720 Speaker 1: every system that has been able to hold on for 201 00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:26,600 Speaker 1: dear life these last eight years will give way, and 202 00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:32,840 Speaker 1: then we're fucked. Then we're fucked. I already believe that 203 00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:36,080 Speaker 1: there is no turning back to where we are right now. 204 00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:40,200 Speaker 1: I already have been sitting on my couch and thinking 205 00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:46,639 Speaker 1: to myself, I need to pack a go bag. Should 206 00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:54,440 Speaker 1: probably start like really preparing as much as one can prepare, right, 207 00:18:55,119 --> 00:19:04,920 Speaker 1: because what felt decades ago far away, whenever there would 208 00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:13,800 Speaker 1: be a conflict right that would arise oceans away, it 209 00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:17,440 Speaker 1: would feel like, oh it would Oh that's distant from us, 210 00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:24,919 Speaker 1: that would never happen here. I don't know about you, 211 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:29,800 Speaker 1: but I no longer feel that way. I don't know 212 00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:33,199 Speaker 1: about you, but I find myself saying it's only a 213 00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:41,040 Speaker 1: matter of time that either we're attacked from the outside 214 00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:52,800 Speaker 1: or from the inside, or both. And so again you 215 00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:59,200 Speaker 1: find yourself struggling, crying in despair. Know that you were 216 00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:06,080 Speaker 1: not alone. But as I continue to say that while 217 00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:09,520 Speaker 1: wokeness is indeed a choice, it is a choice to 218 00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:13,840 Speaker 1: live consciously, it is not a choice to live in misery, 219 00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:19,240 Speaker 1: and that you do no one any service right by 220 00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:24,239 Speaker 1: not having gratitude for even the illusion of safety that 221 00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:28,000 Speaker 1: we are living right now. And this is after another 222 00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:33,760 Speaker 1: mass shooting that killed over close to two dozen people, 223 00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:41,280 Speaker 1: But currently, right now in America, we're not packing up 224 00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:44,359 Speaker 1: and running for our lives and running to the nearest border. 225 00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:49,000 Speaker 1: So give gratitude for that when you go into the shower, 226 00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:52,960 Speaker 1: when you turn on the fresh water to wash dishes, 227 00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:56,119 Speaker 1: don't think about your tasks like, oh my god, I 228 00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:59,520 Speaker 1: have these things to do. Be grateful that you have 229 00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:04,120 Speaker 1: a home town to do those daily mundane tassin. Give 230 00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:08,600 Speaker 1: gratitude while you're washing the dishes. Maintain a beautiful and 231 00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:14,199 Speaker 1: meticulous house, because there are millions right now that are displaced, 232 00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:19,600 Speaker 1: that have nowhere to go, whether it was climate change 233 00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:25,360 Speaker 1: that ravaged, a fire that ravaged parts of Hawaii, literally 234 00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:30,359 Speaker 1: wiping people out, burning them alive, whether it's bombs that 235 00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:33,000 Speaker 1: are dropping that you can't avoid because again there is 236 00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:38,080 Speaker 1: no place to go. The opportunity to even sit here 237 00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:42,879 Speaker 1: and record right now in the safety of my home 238 00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:47,080 Speaker 1: is a privilege that I'm no longer taking for granted 239 00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:49,640 Speaker 1: because I don't know how much longer we all have. 240 00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:56,479 Speaker 1: And so the greatest way to fight despair and grief 241 00:21:56,800 --> 00:22:04,639 Speaker 1: is with gratitude, is with love, is with organizing, with 242 00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:07,720 Speaker 1: your group of friends, with your colleagues. What can we give, 243 00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:11,080 Speaker 1: where can we donate? How can we show up to 244 00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:14,520 Speaker 1: better what it is that we have and also help 245 00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:19,000 Speaker 1: those in need the most. That's what we're being called 246 00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:21,360 Speaker 1: upon to do. That's how you climb out of despair 247 00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:28,840 Speaker 1: and grief with actions of kindness, love, and gratitude. Empathy 248 00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:35,719 Speaker 1: is not sitting and watching body after body be carried 249 00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:40,480 Speaker 1: out from the rubble. It is being conscious and aware 250 00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:44,600 Speaker 1: that this is happening and it has to stop. But 251 00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:47,320 Speaker 1: sitting in it day in and day out is not 252 00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:51,800 Speaker 1: honoring those people. I'm not saying to look away all 253 00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:57,120 Speaker 1: the time, but I'm saying to look inside. To look 254 00:22:57,160 --> 00:23:02,240 Speaker 1: inside and figure out what you can do in this 255 00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:07,800 Speaker 1: corner of the world to make life better, safer, wholer 256 00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:14,480 Speaker 1: more connected. That is how we fight the darkness by 257 00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:22,960 Speaker 1: being and creating light. That is it for me today, 258 00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:27,119 Speaker 1: Dear friends on Woke af AS always power to the 259 00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:31,920 Speaker 1: people and to all all the people.
