Here is a poster for an event a friend organised at Occupy London in 2011 - a live link-up with activists in Syria. I kept it as a reminder that before the horror, before the geopolitical rivalry and distortions, came people who no longer wanted to live in fear of violence, poverty and oppression.

They also had fewer ER visits, nights spent in a hospital, and jail stays.
