"To affirm that men and women are persons and as persons should be free, and yet to do nothing tangible to make this affirmation a reality, is a farce."
          - Paulo Freire


"I'm talking about Freedom--freedom in our hearts and intellects and imaginations; and in our beds and bushes and kitchen; freedom on the streets and in the courts and legislative buildings; freedom with our families and our neighbors; freedom to be wh o we are and love each other. The thing about freedom, though, is that you can't just want it for yourself only, or your own kind. Freedom means everybody: not just the men, not just the people with money, not just the white people, not just the Christian s, not just the people without AIDS, not just queers, not just any part of us that might be better off than the rest. Freedom means justice."
