So many last details. Some worries and concerns like: will these West Coast kiddies be able to stay warm? Will we find something cheap enough but healthy enough to eat? Will we find a spot on the lawn? But most importantly our goals for this journey are grounded in the hope that we will connect with other like minded folks who are making moves across the nation to bring our own visions of change to the table. As well as the desire to connect with different minds who want to talk and make a connection. So much excitement and a bit of anxiety bubbling through my body when I think of our place in this historical moment; of continuing to commit to push our agenda items: the earth, immigrant rights, the choice to commit or not to commit to love no matter the shape of our bodies, affordable housing, education, youth, justice for communities of color, solidarity, an end to war, a government that acts in the best interest of all it's people...yes we want it all and will continue to fight for it all.
I can't wait for this next Wednesday at La Peña when we will ask those in attendance to let us know what their vision is so we can carry it with us. Tell us your justice agenda. What would the first thing you would change? I know I am committing to bringing this agenda of justice with me to DC and will document our experience so we can share it all with you. Thank you for giving me the community to serve as a committed artist. Even in these rough times filled with so much anxiety, hardship and struggle I remember my blessings. My hope is that we will make you proud that you are sending us as your artistic ambassadors and will continue to work with us in the future. Much love. Gracias Gracias Gracias. Maya
