      Just saw a photo of myself, barefoot in a park carrying a protest banner and being a woman and thought, 'well this turned out unexpectedly.'

      If you time traveled back 5 years and told me that would be me, I would have laughed at you and been secretly intensely hopeful.

      Looking back, it's weird how much I stanned for cops when I waa younger and foolisher, despite having had many negative experiences.

      I was detained at 15 for "riding my bike on the sidewalk." My friend mouthed off at the cop so he hauled us in.

      He claimed he was arresting us and charging us with interfering with police business. He separated me into an interrogation room.

      For a couple hours he'd come in and scream at me because I was the "good kid" and he wanted my friend to hear it.

      All record of that got expunged because we pulled the "white privilege and political connections" lever with our parents.

      I got detained in Troy, NY and had my car searched against my consent when I was 22. My eyes were bloodshot from allergies.

      Cops said I looked high. They found nothing and let me go. Again, privilege.

      A few months later, I got pulled over for "swerving." Cop tapped on my driver side window with his gun, or maybe a taser.

          My "swerve" was an attempt to merge and then I stopped when I saw the car in my blind spot. Totally gun worthy.

          All of these things were terrifying but I buried my terror under justifications that this was OK. I was, like many, a tool of authority.

          I'm glad I got over that.

          It takes enormous resources to go from that still inner voice feeling something is wrong, to your whole being engaged in righting the wrong.

          Some say “you’re so brave”. But it’s everything else too — love, privilege, & the fierce refusal of that still small voice to be killed

          You said even 5 years ago you would’ve laughed but felt secretly intensely hopeful — that resilient little seed has grown a tenacious vine!

          Thank you, too! Have you heard of Ursula Franklin's "earthworm theory" of social change? What you do loosens the earth so others may grow.
