About this site
“Striving with Systems” comes from a prophetic poem by the Romantic English poet William Blake.
The provenance of the phrase, though, is less important now than what it implies–the urgency of our struggle against oppression that it reflects and demands. Without this striving by each of us, we cannot struggle together with the intertwined tendrils of oppression that hinder our liberation.
The primary intent of the blog was to offer occasional excursions into important topics in our contributors’ lives, all revolving around the orientation of radical veganism, which, in the words of Christopher Sebastian McJetters, “…elevates the perspectives of marginalized persons who can speak authentically about our experiences of oppression as they relate to undoing speciesism.”
The blog has evolved from a solo project to a collaborative effort and then back again. It may be one or none of these things at your time of reading.
We don’t post often, but we try to make it worth the wait.
Onwards…
