Гарза, Алисия цитаты

Алисия Гарза — американская правозащитница и литератор, соосновательница движения Black Lives Matter . В 2016 году называлась в числе самых влиятельных афроамериканцев по версии The Root. Лауреат Сиднейской премии мира .

Движение Black Lives Matter возникло в ответ на оправдательный приговор волонтеру-патрульному Джорджу Циммерману, в 2012 году во Флориде убившему 17-летнего чернокожего Трейвона Мартина.

В 2014 году Гарза написала в Фейсбуке пост, который сама назвала «любовным посланием афроамериканцам», оканчивавшийся словами: «Черные люди. Я люблю вас. Я люблю нас. Наша жизнь имеет значение. Жизни черных имеют значение». Её к тому времени уже близкая подруга Патрисс Каллорс расшарила этот пост с хештегом #blacklivesmatter, что называют послужившим появлению движения Black Lives Matter. В 2018 году основала Black Futures Lab.

Также является соучредительницей организации Supermajority , призванной ангажировать политически два миллиона женщин. Патрисса Каллорс заявляла, что она и Гарза являются марксистками. На праймериз накануне президентских выборов 2016 года Гарза поддерживала Берни Сандерса, накануне выборов 2020 года — Элизабет Уоррен.

Отмечена Glamour Women of the Year Award и Marie Claire New Guard Award .

Её статьи и интервью появлялись в Time, Mic, The Guardian, Elle.com, Essence, Democracy Now!, The New York Times. Ежемесячно пишет для Marie Claire.

В 2020 году ожидается выход её книги «How to Turn a Hashtag Into a Movement». Wikipedia

How the movement that’s changing America was built and where it goes next, By Jamil Smith, Rolling Stone https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-features/black-lives-matter-jamil-smith-1014442/ (16 June 2020)

“So we know that young people are the present and the future, but what inspires me are older people who are becoming transformed in the service of this movement. I'm inspired by seeing older people step into their own power and leadership and say, "I'm not passing a torch, I'm helping you light the fire."”

“When we think about how we address problems in this country, we often start from a place of trickle-down justice. So using white folks as the control we say, well, if we make things better for white folks then everybody else is going to get free. But actually it doesn't work that way.... When we talk about the wage gap, we often say women make 78 cents to every dollar that a man makes. You all have heard that before. But those are the statistics for white women and white men. The reality is that black women make something like 64 cents to every 78 cents that white women make. When we talk about Latinas, it goes down to about 58 cents. If we were to talk about indigenous women, if we were to talk about trans women, it would even go further down. So again, if you deal with those who are the most impacted, everybody has an opportunity to benefit from that, rather than dealing with the folks who are not as impacted, and expecting it to trickle down.”

“Race and racism is probably the most studied social, economic and political phenomenon in this country, but it's also the least understood. The reality is that race in the United States operates on a spectrum from black to white. Doesn't mean that people who are in between don't experience racism, but it means that the closer you are to white on that spectrum, the better off you are. And the closer to black that you are on that spectrum the worse off your are.”
