A just future is born from the understanding of the history and memory that workers today uphold with dignity. A just future is a place where all creatures — human and non-human — are respected, where the collective builds new paths. It is when the being is sovereign, with equal rights, influence, and the possibility of existing, regardless of phenotypes, geography, faith, or money. A just future is accountability. It is taking care of the repercussions of our actions on others, on the earth, on the water, on time. It is freedom so that the true self is not silenced by prejudices or by violence. A just future is synergy. Nothing can flourish in isolation. Things need to happen together — the simultaneous is therevolution. Work, rest, care, art, affection, politics, joy: everything needs to pulse at the same time, in the same collective body. A just future happens when territories become sovereign in identity and collective governance, that respects the specificities of living beings and landscapes that reside there. It is when the waters flow free again, the seeds return to the earth, and the bodies have a place to call home. A just future is body and home. A dignified house for artists, women, sex workers, so that childhoods can be nurtured, so that children grow up safe, so that Black youth and Black women can age gracefully. A just future is visible love. Where women can love each other in public without fear. Where the city is livable, with drinking water, with laughter, with music, with dance. Because without dance, there is no revolution. A just future is living youth. It is leisure as a tool for revolution. It is peripheral culture celebrated, it is the right to exist, dream, and rest without life demanding the price of survival so soon. A just future is memory and continuity. It is recognizing that nothing starts with us. It comes from the journey, from mothers and grandmothers, from the hands that planted before we had a voice. We are already ancestors of someone. What came before echoes forward. A just future is synergy in the now. It is not a distant tomorrow. It is the invitation to change narratives that prevent us from resting today, and begin to create safe spaces, cultivate what nourishes us, care for those who care for us. A just future is not an individual dream. It is the collective in motion, it is the sovereign being in the whole, and not at the top. It is the full happiness of the periphery, a secure childhood, free water, and freedom. A just future is now. And it begins with all of us.
