What unites us is not a common sexuality or experiences or identities or self-expression. It’s that we are up against a common enemy.

When we allow ourselves to be split along lines of oppression, we always lose.

People won’t put their time, energy, and commitment into organizing unless they know that the movement they are building is defending their lives.

We need each other. We each need to know what it’s like to fight back alone. We need each other’s strength as allies. And we know what it’s like to feel like the only one who’s different.

When i talk about unity, i don’t mean reducing all our particular identities or struggles to one. I mean putting our collective strength and energy behind the defense of ALL our identities and ALL our demands.
