TRANSFORMATION AND KINSHIP

“Our locating ourselves with those who have been endlessly excluded becomes an act of visible protest. For no amount

  • f our screaming at the people in charge

can change them. The margins don’t get erased by simply insisting that the powers that be erase them. The trickle- down theory doesn’t really work

  • here. The powers bent on waging war

against the poor and young and “other” will only be moved to kinship when they see it. Only when we can see a community where all that is excluded is valued and appreciated, will we abandon the values that seek to exclude." Greg Boyle, Founder of Homeboy Industries
