Activism is my rent for living on the planet.
Alice Walker is a Pulitzer Prize novelist
and author of The Color Purple
“I love this quote because, although there are 8 billion of us on this planet, being human is a relatively rare experience. There are 10 trillion ants on the planet. So, we 8 billion humans, with our capacity, our thumbs, and our ability to change things, have an obligation to give back to the world that is sustaining us. We aren’t meant to be here just as takers. We’re meant to be here to contribute in our own unique way. It’s not a competition. But it is, I think, a moral requirement for living a good life to make a contribution in some way shape or form to the world that is sustaining us.”
