“What, then, is there to do? Collaborate, collectivize our resources, take care to stand strong and support one another. Defend each of the social rights that guarantee a just and dignified life for all people. Put all of our tools to the service of a radical transformation, or transformation from the root. Rid our horizons of competitive logic to instead work together in solidarity. Build and bring together practices and communities of practice that make known and take on the work to be done, that give this work meaning and direction. Listen with kindness and respect to those we meet along the way, so that we may learn to read the signs of our times with caution, care, and prudence. Teach by learning and learn by teaching. Intervene in the causes and not just the symptoms. Go back and give back to the commons, so that in our being together we neither fossilize nor let our work be sterile ground.”
Palmar Álvarez-Blanco, translated by Lindsay Szper
