Positive Action
was created by a group of people who seek to change the dominant structure in
our lives through political motivation.
We're an organization whose members are devoted to the making of an
egalitarian society so that all members of the world can benefit from the
experience of life. Why is positive
action necessary for the progression of our society? How do we omit all the
oppression, abuse, prejudice, enmity, and injustice that humanity is now
subject to? When we stop and ask these
crucial questions, we are taking the first step toward social change.
We
must criticize the prevalent order that reinforces the artificial inequalities
of gender, race and class. There's no self-empowerment
in being neutral, in doing what we've been told is the right way. Paulo Friere
Writes: "The oppressed are treated as individual cases, as marginal people
who deviate from the general configuration of a 'good, organized and just
society'. The truth is however, the oppressed are not marginal, are not people
living outside society. They have always been inside -- inside the structure
that made them beings for others. The solution is not to integrate them into
the structure, but to transform that structure so they can become beings for
themselves." Members of Posac
realize that the more people become themselves the better the democracy, the
less people are asked about what they want, about their expectations, the less
power they have, the less democracy we have. We know that we cannot be truly
liberated in a nation where others suffer from the injustices that coexist with
inequality.
We
are a group of people in the community who understand that the existing order
of things truly benefits only a few; that the systematic way of life by
integrating new generations into the social order makes it hard for people to
live up to their true potentials thus, making it difficult to achieve ultimate
happiness. We refuse to ignore
repression, individual powerlessness, inequality of income and opportunity because
we realize we do not have to take this.
Freedom is a universal right. We know it's possible to take back our
lives, to replace what we've told we are, with our own sentiment, sincerity and
self-confidence.
Posac
is a group of people who want to get information out there about putting life
before work, expression before comfort, intelligence and personal growth before
conformity, people before profit, creation before consumption, being before
doing, love and passion before everything.
We are the members of the community who believe that one person can make
a difference by getting others to join in solidarity. Individually we know we
can make our lives more enriching while simultaneously setting an example in
our efforts to liberate those who are oppressed. Posac is not just a group whose purpose is to organize, mobilize
and inform; Our desire to change the world is extended into the development of
our relationships with each other and through this type of work and
understanding it becomes logical to live our lives in a way that shows the
desire of the people.
