“Apartheid tried to rob black people of their humanity & their dignity because of the colour of their skin. #Homophobia tries to rob people of their humanity & their dignity because of who they love.” #MphoTutuVanFurth, daughter of #DesmondTutu, on #Uganda’s anti-gay laws.

"There comes a point where we need to stop just pulling people out of the river.
We need to go upstream and find out why they’re falling in.”
Desmond Tutu

Billions are being spent on "stopping" migration.
2 billion people have no access to safe drinking water. Would these resources not be better spent in assisting people to remain where they are?
With war, conflict, and environmental chaos, we need to start looking at why refugees are created.
We are constantly ask why we think people make the decision to make the dangerous trip to Europe.
To add another quote, nobody puts their children in a boat if the land is safer than the sea.
From the beginning of this current "crisis," the only plan of governments is to stop refugees. From pushbacks to bizarre off shore detention plans, drones, more boats, more coast guard, more fences and walls
We have called for safe passage and humanitarian corridors since 2015. Safe routes that don't destroy lives, kill children, and create broken people who are a burden to the state that finally accepts them.

True joy comes from acting with a good purpose. This action gives us a true sense of meaning and satisfaction. „Remaining indiffrent means accepting the #evil around us” Acting is not only responsibility but also a privilege and gift” #DesmondTutu Have a nice day.

Per la UE usare #apartheid per descrivere #Israel è inappropriato, nonostante infiniti report di organizzazioni umanitarie e le parole di #NelsonMandela e #DesmondTutu, che l'apartheid lo conoscevano bene.

@SameGirlie That’s a great parallel to #DesmondTutu’s quote: “If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality.”

"If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality." -- Desmond Tutu

@bojkotiMalbona @Atomicbutterfly @shaman The thing is, the #FreeSpeech move for #Twitter is to take action in defense of Salma al-Shehab. That means suspending the account of the Saudi prince. Doing nothing is the anti-speech move, if you agree with #DesmondTutu’s quote: “If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor.”
