I'm sad to hear about this senseless act of violence against an imam. Our thoughts are with him and his family. #PrayForPeace #StandWithTheImam #SafetyForAll #EndViolence #LoveNotHate https://www.cnn.com/2023/04/09/us/paterson-new-jersey-mosque-stabbing/index.html

"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.

I don't know why I am so drawn to these videos from the Fascinating Horror channel on YT, but I do appreciate today's video about an explosion in the late-1980s. The takeaway from me today is that this video highlights the reason why wheelchair users and others with chronic mobility issues should be included in the creation of any emergency evacuation plans for any organization.
