How We Get Free: Black Feminism and the Combahee River Collective
by Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor
"What brings us together even though we don't all share the same life? We share the same aspirations. We yearn for the same things. And so what does it mean for us then to be in deep and principled relationship with each other?"
"And we have to take from that, never hesitate to love your people, and the people who struggle alongside you, but also never be afraid to critique and struggle with those you love."
"...we recognized inherently that there was no conflict. That that was manufactured. And that we in ourselves, in our very bodies, represented another sort of emerging understanding of the complexity of the politics."
"This is a time for solidarity ... just because I have health coverage doesn't mean I shouldn't be standing in solidarity with those who stand to lose it under this regime. Just because I have a US passport and full legal status in the United States doesn't mean I'm not supposed to be standing in solidarity with people who are undocumented. Who have every right to be here as well."
"I want to do what I want to do, when I want to do it. And I want to be with somebody who wants that for me too ... And so having the language to be able to talk about why I deserved to shape my own desires for myself and my life and what I wanted to do, and why it should be possible for me to do it is really important to me."
