Thank you for continuing to fight

Once again, thousands of people are taking to the streets to express their anger and their unwavering determination to defend a just, dignified and equitable society.

Once again, thousands of people are marching to reject social decline, the war of all against all, and cruelty as a form of governance.

We want to thank, again and again, all those who are fighting. In the streets, in institutions, on the margins, in the shadows, through actions that are sometimes tiny, but undeniably necessary.

Thank you to those who refuse to lose all hope, who do not let the brown tide overwhelm us. Our thoughts are with the peoples and individuals bearing the full brunt of this unspeakable violence.

We stand with them to defend a world worth living in.
To say no to war. 

No to lies.
No to destruction.
No to the ongoing genocides.
To say no.

Humbly, we invite you to share a space where we can take a step back. Where we can acknowledge our clumsiness, our hopes, our fragility.

A step back to share not only our sense of powerlessness but also our ever-renewed joy at being here, together.

Thank you to all those who are taking action and were on the streets on Sunday, who are on the streets this week and who will be on the streets again and again.

Thank you to everyone who fights every day.

Thank you to the artists for telling stories that allow us to continue to reflect on this society.

Thank you for being here.

The whole team at Varia
