“If you are appalled by the violence imposed on one man, and not the violence imposed on millions, something isn’t right!”
— Claudia De la Cruz, activist
It’s time to name the 🐘 in the room: Structural Violence IS violence.
🚩 Denying healthcare is violence.
🚩 Evictions are violence.
🚩 Polluting our air, water & food is violence.
🚩 Extreme wealth inequality is violence.
Yet, within this system, structural violence is ignored—because to truly take it seriously would mean acknowledging that our current economic model is built on it.
The ultra-rich hoard wealth while billions struggle. Their luxury lifestyles fuel emissions that push the planet closer to collapse. And this system? It has self-reinforcing loops that keep it running—unless we break them.
Disrupting inequality is key to stopping this deadly cycle of social and environmental destruction.
Say it and say it often: Structural violence is violence. And it’s not ok.
