Uruguay: "La solidaridad no se agracede, se retribuye."
Samora Machel, FRELIMO leader, First President of Mozambique: "International solidarity is not an act of charity. It is an act between allies fighting on different terrains toward the same objective. The foremost of these objectives is to aid the development of humanity to the highest level possible"
Thanks to peasants, farm workers, fisher folks, bakers, & kitchen staff for our food & drinks; factory & office workers for the things & services we need; women who are daily martyrs whose work at home is not fully appreciated; activists who act as the conscience of society, reminding officials they occupy positions of trust to serve the people; social environmentalists who fight for the integrity of all life forms; & those who gave up their lives for justice so that we may have a better life now & in the future.
Rey Ty here. Hello! I welcome you to my "Political Engagement, Power, Social Movements, Human Rights, Social Justice, Sustainable Development, and Peace Education" Website. Please explore.
