I am black in Alabama, gay in Texas, a Turk in Germany, a Chicano in San Ysidro, a Catalan in Spain, a Palestinian in Israel, a Jew in Poland, a Protestant in Ireland, a Catholic in Ulster, a pacifist in Bosnia, a single woman on the Metro at 10pm, a peasant without land, a gang member in the slums, an unemployed worker, an unhappy student, and a Zapatista in the mountains.
I strive with every fiber of my being to be all the exploited, marginalized, oppressed minorities resisting and saying “Enough!” I am every untolerated group searching for a way to speak; everything that makes power and the good consciences of those in power uncomfortable.
