Let’s be real: small changes won’t fix big problems.

If a house is on fire, you don’t argue about what color to paint the walls—you grab water and put the fire out. That’s how politics works too. When the system is deeply broken—when people can’t afford housing, the planet is heating up, racism still runs deep, and billionaires rig the rules—it’s not enough to tweak a few things here and there. You have to go to the root of the problem. That’s what radical means: getting to the root.

Being radical doesn’t mean being violent or extreme. It means being brave enough to imagine a different future—and bold enough to fight for it.

Think about history:

• Slavery didn’t end because politicians were polite. Abolitionists were radical.
• Women didn’t win the right to vote by asking nicely. Suffragettes were radical.
• Civil rights didn’t just happen. Martin Luther King Jr. was called radical in his time.

Change always seems “too radical” right before it becomes common sense.

And the people in power? They’ll always say you’re asking for too much. But they’re not the ones suffering. They’re not the ones being evicted, shot by police, going hungry, or drowning in debt. So yeah—when the world is on fire, we don’t need baby steps. We need a movement that’s radical, organized, and full of hope.

Because only radical love, radical courage, and radical action can make a better world.
