“Imagination is the bedrock of social change. When I use that term, I do not mean it loosely — I mean change in the concrete, material, lived conditions for marginalized communities. The biggest challenge to achieving a new world is to even imagine that another one is possible. It is sadly ironic that those with the greatest capacity for this imagination are often those who have been most harmed by the system, and are farthest from the levers of change. The system changes only as culture changes, after minds are moved. As an artist, educator, organizer and legislative advocate, I believe deeply in the connection between political organizing and creative practices.”
