@AKayumAhmed1 #P8607 This is such an important question of who has control of the narrative, decides the relevant issues, and determines who is represented. Only when that hierarchal system is abolished can communities be made visible.

@McneeMadeline @AKayumAhmed1 #P8607 agree—it's a question of where power lies and who gets to decide where it sits.

@giovanni_kyle @AKayumAhmed1 #P8607 super interesting idea. How does the 'mass participation' you outline differ from classical/existing democracies today? How do we get there get there?

@AKayumAhmed1 #P8607 This makes me think of Audre Lorde's quote that the master’s tools will never dismantle master’s house—I'm not sure what this new corpus look like, but I know we won't get there by relying upon the tools that structure our current system

@WolfeElly @AKayumAhmed1 #P8607 completely agree, but I do think TAC provided an interesting example of a legal case reshaping how major powers conceptualize of the right to health and the court's potential ability to protect that

[Emma M. @EmmaM13579]

@AKayumAhmed1 #P8607 both cases highlight the limitations of employing international HRL to ensure the realization of the right to health—devoid of legal enforcement mechanisms, accountability is negligible

[Emma M. @EmmaM13579]

@AKayumAhmed1 I think we too often conceptualize rebellion as a singular event, when in reality, folks have been rebelling and fighting for a right to health for a long, long time. We are rebelling. Whether there is enough power to incite real change is the question. #P8607

[Emma M. @EmmaM13579]

@RachelGroth1 @AKayumAhmed1 Completely agree with this and I also think it's important to note that rebellions have been occurring and ongoing. We can not discount the many persistent rebellions for some theoretically 'ultimate' one #P8607
