So there is a Martin Luther King Day but no Ella Baker Day. Remembering her is a reminder that history often celebrates voices and forgets the hands that made change possible. She didn’t just fight racism, she fought the patriarchy within the movement. Ella Baker believed leadership should come from the people not just one figurehead#EllaBaker #NoKings #Feminism #Patriarchy #MLKDay #Decentralize #Fediverse

This has given me some food for thought. I also think of #Solarpunk, which is a growing societal and diverse movement, focusing on collaboration, community-work, sustainability and more, instead of so many things which are being endorsed by the patriarchy and by capitalism.Here is a manifesto about Solarpunk, which I find recommendable to read:https://storyseedlibrary.org/essays/solarpunk-manifesto/7/7
