We are with you

My experience of handing over funds from the Sale of Broken Objects to a shopkeeper is a powerful thing. It is more then the cash that will put a meal on the table - even more. It means that indifference is not the response of the world; that ordinary people want to put things right; that the attempt to belittle, humiliate, intimidate, degrade and project power over, in all these things the injustice has failed. It failed because the cash bears a subversive message - something like 'we are with you, all of us!'. And when the object pieces have been swept up, and the funds have been used, the meal has been eaten - even if the soldiers come back and repeat their crime - the message remains - 'we are with you!'.

By our actions we make a difference.
