Over 100 billion people have lived on our planet.
Just 622 have been to space.
Just 12 have set foot on another celestial object, our barren moon.
Not a single human has been to another planet.
We know of no other planet that can sustain human life.
Why is it so damn hard to get people to care about protecting the only home we've ever had and the only place we can live?
We often view violence through the lens of a person with a lethal weapon harming another—but we should expand our view to recognizing the different types of violence that harm society.
For example:
•Poverty is violence
•Banning asylum is violence
•Denying reparations is violence
•Forcing child hunger is violence
•Denying healthcare access is violence
Violence isn’t just when a person uses a Lethal weapon on another person. It’s also when Legal power is weaponized to deny justice to any person.
