Not a Fight We Win ... (May 28, 2025)
I don't think this is a fight we win ...
This morning, an email arrived from an activist friend. Her message was as simple as it was powerful, highlighting how nothing had changed since the death of George Floyd, how "Black Lives Matter" had been declared and emblazoned on t-shirts but nothing more.
As I finished reading her message, my thoughts turned again to Chief Wabasse and the fight the northern Chiefs now face and I came to one simple conclusion ...
I don't think this is a fight we win.
Before you jump down my throat, let me explain.
I don't think this is a fight we win. Rather, I believe it is a fight that requires constant vigilance, like fortress walls or iron domes.
I think Roe vs Wade taught us that.
I think democracy taught us that.
I think Black Lives Matter taught us that.
I think LGBTQQIAP+ rights taught us that.
I think Indigenous rights taught us that.
The trick - do not wish for or anticipate the end. Rather train for the constant vigilance. Take pride in taking your turn on the wall, in speaking up, in posting words on social media, or carrying a sign in protest.
Never waver, never give up, never be the weakest link because I don't believe this is the type of fight we win.
Rather, this is the kinda line we draw.
The journey continues ...
