I am preparing myself
To be aware, awake, and present
To speak up against injustice as it happens
To be aware of my unchosen white privilege
And to become a true ally.

Too many people are so unaware of that privilege. Our way of life in the west has been built on the backs of others, and that continues today. Our bargains and best buys are often due to the fact that so much of what we buy is purchased from countries that pay slave wages. (I think I am preaching to the choir – sorry about that. I will stop here)
I,too, am trying. Wonderfully written – thank you for sharing.

O I so love the title, silence is acquiescence and therefore a stance. A rousing call to stand.
