This Changes Everything (NHB Modern Plays)

We should stay because… We know why you came here. Everything back home is wrong. A few rich white men making decisions for loads of people who are not rich and white and men and those decisions are always about money while stuff’s running out, people are fighting over oil, water, food – Wars are coming, riots, police violence, it’s all coming unless we change how we all live, not just in little token ways but completely. We have to come up with entirely different ways of living here and what you were talking about in the conversations we decoded, fairness, equality, it all makes sense. And now we’ve read those, now we know all that, we don’t belong back there. We can’t fit in, we belong here, away from exam results, timetables, choosing what job we should do, trying to fit in to a broken system. We should stay because we can help, because we want to, because we’re not just little girls, we’re people and we want to change everything. With you. That’s why we should stay.
