Silence Is a Position
I am often told that I should be more careful. That I should consider the political implications of what I say. That naming names and identifying perpetrators is dangerous, divisive, and counterproductive.
I have considered it. I reject it.
Silence, in the face of visible injustice, is not caution. It is complicity. And I refuse to be complicit.
The Myth of Neutrality
There is a persistent belief – especially among institutions, media organizations, and professionals – that it is possible to remain neutral in the face of injustice. That by not taking a side, you avoid becoming part of the problem.
