Of course the work has never been, is not and will never be as neat & sweet as the written call to action above - but if we realise that - that it is difficult work, and still collectively commit to taking the small, strenuous steps up that hill, we might set things in motion.
We can (&must) untiringly check the oppressive beliefs of individuals. Yet, that is not going to amount to nearly enough change that needs to happen if we're not collectively launching a bold and rigorous critique of the resourced institutions that reinforce said beliefs.
