And white people: We have to be an ally. But more than that - we have to be an accomplice.
In the 80s, there was a church group thing my mom got involved with called Witness For Peace. She spent time in Nicaragua and Guatemala, simply accompanying women who'd been threatened by the government for resisting - taking part in protests - doing things Daddy State assholes don't like people doing.
And it worked. Or something worked, but those women weren't accosted, and it could've been just because there was a witness.
BTW, my mom made it thru in good shape. Those cops were far less likely to fuck with somebody who had a white-haired gringa walking around with their potential targets.
Because slugs and cockroaches can't stand the sunshine.
POWER WILL BE ABUSED.
AND EVENTUALLY,
THE ABUSE ITSELF
WILL BECOME THE WHOLE POINT.
