I start with a statement of witnessing the emergence of voices for darkness and in response, voices for union and reminders of our common humanity. Erasure can only be defeated by witnessing and attention, coupled with action and service. History is made up of cycles of domination and conquest, and we revisit the Incas, who called themselves the Sons of the Sun, and their dynasty. They lead us to today's young fighting spirits, real life Victorias Amazonicas suing the Peruvian government for their rights to clean air, water and soil and a protected Amazon. Those who are responsible for our current environmental crises knew as far back as 1954 exactly what they were setting into motion. We have reached the time for response-ability. To overcome a culture of erasure, we require emissaries of attention, action and service.
