A Blessing for Collective Liberation

May we open our eyes to the struggles of our neighbors, And see beyond the veil of our own comfort. Let us recognize that freedom is not truly won Until it's shared by all, without condition.


May we understand that dignity has no price tag, That a person's worth isn't measured in dollars or cents. Let us see the humanity in every outstretched hand, And respond with compassion, not judgment.


May we acknowledge that opportunity is not equal, That the playing field is far from level. Let us work to dismantle the barriers that divide us, And build bridges of understanding in their place.


May we honor the truth that hard work alone Is not enough to break the chains of systemic oppression. Let us challenge the narratives that blame the victim, And instead, uplift those who have been pushed to the margins.


May we confront the ongoing legacy of historical injustices, And recognize that the past still echoes in our present. Let us not turn a blind eye to modern-day bondage, But instead fight for true freedom for all.


May we embrace the power of collective action,

Understanding that our liberation is bound together.

Let us stand united against the forces that seek to divide us,

And create a world where everyone can thrive.


May we have the courage to question our own beliefs,

To challenge our assumptions and broaden our perspectives.

Let us listen to voices long silenced,

And amplify the stories that need to be heard.


May we commit to the ongoing work of justice,

Knowing that true change requires persistence and dedication.

Let us hold space for both hope and righteous anger,

As we strive for a world where all are truly free.


In our shared struggle and our shared humanity,

May we find the strength to keep pushing forward,

Until the day when collective liberation

Is not just a dream, but our lived reality.
