︎ STATEMENT:

this compilation exists as a collaborative declaration against genocide and global occupation,

a gesture towards resistance

a concerted action in support of the people who are moving on a path to their own collective liberations in the face of the western imperialist project.

this is not about charity.

the intention and hope is that this compilation inspires while also providing another space for us - poets of word and sound - to actively make pace against those who perpetuate death,

as the artist’s role is that of a truth teller.

ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE +++
