Newsflash

...The immediate reward is pleasure in ourselves and each other. The long-term reward, no longer simply a dry "concept", comes alive and present in our collective identity. We find ourselves living as if we have already won the rights, freedoms and respect for which we fight.
- Catherine Frazee
