I don't believe in Charity
Charity is so vertical.
It goes from the top to the bottom.
Solidarity is horizontal.
It respects the other person and learns from the other.
Most of us have a lot to learn from other people.

Eduardo Galeano

"To the untold millions who knocked on doors and made phone calls, who organized and mobilized out of a firm conviction that change in this country comes not from the top down, but from the bottom up: this moment is possible because of you."
(On the day the Health Bill was passed)

Barack Obama
