I'd like to see a place that is on its way to becoming free from the astonishing levels of violence that have been made "necessary" to maintain the gross imbalances of power along racial, class, and sexual lines. I want to know that, on a cultural/social level, I'd be able to travel anywhere and know that I would feel welcome, accepted and understood. I'd like to see a place where our resident's chances in life are not predetermined by whether they happen to be "insiders" or "outsiders" in the various power categories mentioned above. I'd like to see the all of the institutions of our county—educational, political, legal, etc.—functioning with a deep awareness of the ways they've historically been constructed to create "insiders" and "outsiders", and that they were actively working to restructure themselves to achieve fairer, more equitable life outcomes for our residents.
