The importance of taking charge of our own reality

Today is time for us to turn off the T.V., the radio, the smartphones, the noise of all the mass media, because all of those devices are full of lies. They’re trying to make us ignorant, unconscious and alienated persons. This is an emergency call for all of us, for our minds. We’re in a world that teaches us all about individuality and nothing about community. Self-management and democratization of environments like workplaces, educational institutions, neighborhood councils, etc. are still light years away if we can’t generate instances that allow us to move forward and create a community that has its basis in the people who are part of it, and not delegate responsibility of its administration to authorities who don’t know that reality.

Every day, when I start my activities, I try to remember one of my main goals in life: I want to improve people’s well-being. My political action to achieve that is fight for a fairer, more equitable, friendlier and healthier society and I materialize that through participation in different instances of struggle, such as protest, denunciation and actions that are relate with direct demands to the State in matters which I consider part of social rights, like education, health, dwelling, decent work, etc.

In the current strike, I hope we can get the tools that allows us to have a clear and organized position to confront our current department’s administration, so that we can build together, with the other states (teachers and employees), a career oriented to social service and away from trade practices.

Obviously, this strike will affect us. We will not have the time we expect to have to study once we return to regular classes. Probably, this will affect our marks, but we can be self-taught and we can advance our study, using the programs that our teachers gave us to planning the subject.

By now, that’s all :)
