Poor quality of food in most grocery stores- no one can afford it Consumer driven communities Greed It’s hard to feel proud about the U.S.- anything that’s good isn’t good for everybody Military Industrial Complex Prison Industrial Complex Public education Apathy That we’re scared to death of each other Disposable mentality (thoughts, relationships, we’re wasteful) Focused on physical appearance Don’t honor fluidity Put the individual above community Everything is a dichotomy (2 party system) Short term thinking Denial and erasure of our history Guantanamo and Patriot Act So few have so much. So many have so little.

Fucks with your identity Hopeless (feeling of…) Powerless to make change Tired, exhausted Work harder for so little Diverts energy from people and things we love Creates a lack of trust Harder to form and maintain authentic relationships Our ability to survive, limits our options/healthy Had to leave family, home, state Have to silence self or dilute message to be heard Have to be on the defense, less time and energy to create Afraid of ourselves, paralyzing Abundance stays out of reach, creating territorialism and a feeling of scarcity Kills your soul Having to settle Creates a starting place of little trust So, overwhelming that band aids seem more helpful than systemic change Had to stay in unsafe environments. Few options Concepts feeding into the boot strap lie Lofty concepts blinding us to reality Stress related health concerns Apathy

Teach an accurate U.S. history Everyone’s contributions valued and compensated for Value stay at home parenting Spend more time at home than at work Smaller communities could have agency, autonomy and could care for themselves Respectful diplomacy with other countries People know where their food comes from We only use what we need Participate in global community (i.e. Geneva) We wouldn’t hog all the water in North America We would value and respect culture without commodifying it Individuals wouldn’t have to hide or be watered down to participate A government worth having/that is working, supported, wanted by the people MOVEMENTS NOT MONUMENTS!- flexibility, not ego driven change
