Just got of the phone with my grandma, she is 85yo. The conversation was led by her, as always.

She never went to school, she doesn’t know how to read or write, no access to formal education.

My grandma makes me proud to an extent I’m not able to describe.
Her humanity amazes me.

All the time she worries about the world, the Palestinians and the immigrants being persecuted, explored, arrested and killed.

And she ended the call with these words which I’ve translated from Portuguese to English:
Without immigrants, there would be nothing.

You don’t need a PhD, an intellectual background or deep analysis of the world to understand our basic humanity, our right to the land and our human dignity.

Thank you grandma for teaching me so much
