A little mantra I have for myself as we watch people loose opportunities, jobs, safety, and even lives for daring to stand up for their neighbors and Palestinians.
I have been very successfully molded to afraid of and a tendency towards bowing to perceived authority figures like the weird feeling of being an adult who is scared of “being in trouble.” It is programming I think a lot of of us have (especially white people) and is something I’m constantly working on myself to overcome. When a time comes for me that I have to risk personal security to do the right thing, I want to show up ready.
