But two people fighting back to back can cut through a mob,
a snake-dancing file can break a cordon,
an army can meet an army.
Two people can keep each other sane, can give support, conviction, love, hope ...

... Three people are a delegation, a committee, a wedge.

With four, you play bridge and start an organization.

With six, you can rent a whole house,
eat pie for dinner with no seconds,
and hold a fund-raising party.

A dozen make a demonstration.
A hundred can fill a hall.
A thousand have solidarity and your own newsletter;
ten thousand, power and your own paper ...

It goes on one at a time.
It starts when you care to act.
It starts when you do it again after they said "No."

It starts when you say "We" and know who you mean
and each day you mean one more.
