We are tired, overlooked and unfunded

How are you?

How is your soul?

What are you carrying?

What will you let go of in the name of survival?

Who is holding you?

What is giving you breath?

(when and how) Are you free?

We are united by a desire to slow down, rest, tend to our wounds and heal what continues
to be broken.

We are dreamers, plotters and schemers who invite Black and Indigenous kin across borders
to collectively imagine a world that can hold us so that we may materialize it together.

We are tired, we are weary, we are worn.

We are slow.

We are deliberate.

We are consumed by a sense of (be)longing.

We are the sovereigns of bodies dispossessed, dissected, distributed, ripped from the soil
that birthed us.

We are exhausted.

We need rest.

We need time.

We need care.

We need each other.

We demand ease.

We demand honesty.

We demand accountability.

We demand that each gesture be rooted in the acknowledgment that our destinies are
bound up with one another.

We demand social healing.

We will access freedom, liberation and ease at all costs.

We invite our kin to rest, recharge, dream, heal and scheme alongside us as we exit
structures built upon our own destruction.

We invite you to join the exodus.
