Two thoughts on amplifying our collective voice on this cold winter's day:

1. Happy Kwanzaa! Principle Day 3: Ujima (Collective Work and Responsibility). 

We must learn to build and maintain our communities together. We MUST realize that our brother's and sister's problems are our problems and work responsibily towards solving OUR problems together!

2.  Lilla Watson,  a Brisbane-based Aboriginal activist and organizer, spoke these words to the social workers and community developers who approached her community:

"If you have come here to help me,  you are wasting your time.  But if you have come because your liberation is bound up with mine, then let us work together."

Activists, bloggers, advocates, how will you join this fight???
