i think that the personal change is EQUALLY imporatant as social change....

i do see two aspects to it...

1. the politics you advocate: cleansing ourselves of the oppression we ourselves perpetuate: racism, sexism, clasism, homophobia, etc..... cant talk about removing oppresion and acheiving liberation if it isnt for all...yes certain communities/groups are more oppressed and their struggle needs to be prioritized but there is a fine line in doing that OR just reversing the oppression...

2. building some personal..."integrity': not to sound self-righteous, but we need to struggle to make ourselves better human beings....i cant count how many movements and struggles get undermined by the lying, cheating, backbiting, backstabbing, etc etc that occur in most movements or conscious collectives....this includes being accountable for our honesty, faithfulness, ect etc
