The two women who stood at the center of everything and survived and in their surviving changed everything

“The most powerful weapon is truth. Go out and tell truth everywhere.” – Yuri Kochiyama

I’ve got to shout out for this historic event coming up at the revolutionary Eastside Arts Alliance in Oakland. Activists Angela Davis and Yuri Kochiyama will come together for a screening of the new film Mountains That Take Wing, which features thirteen years of conversations between the two women on topics ranging from the role of women in social movements, to the prison industrial complex, to war and the arts.

I have heard both these women speak separately and each one carries the weight of change in her body. Their words serve as a wellspring of inspiration that spurs me to speak truth and work hard for justice.
