Quotations

“These Big Banks just can’t seem to get it right—they say one thing but do another. When they keep pumping money into dirty fossil fuel companies and projects, it makes us all sick. Sick from the pollution, sick from the injustice, sick from an addiction that is killing us and our planet. We are done being a sacrifice zone, and we are done with your corporate lies. The people of Louisiana are gathering now to right your wrong.” (Indigenous Environmental, May 15, 2018)

“Militarism has been made a cultural thing where people think that it’s American, while it’s a part of toxic masculinity.” (Kairos interview; photo Medium)
