"We are here not representing ourselves alone, we are here representing the person who's standing in that gas line, that person who is looking for food for their child, that person who is trying to make ends meet." Dr. Dr. Asha de Vos joins protest #SLCrisis 📷 Estelle Vasudevan

#Derana has done a lot to divide #SriLanka for a long time with their opportunistic agendas. If I want my actions to speak louder than words, here is what I would do to boycott Derana (TV/FM/Print). 1. I would unsubscribe to any news alerts from Derana via my mobile network

Zuckerberg owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. Jeff Bezos owns the Washington Post. Elon Musk owns Twitter. When multi-billionaires take control of our most vital platforms for communication, it’s not a win for free speech. It’s a win for oligarchy.

Don't worry about who will be offended if you speak the truth. Think about who will be misled and deceived if you don't.

It’s a good day for Mahinda Rajapaksa to stand up in parliament & say he’s going home so that a transitional PM can take over before we head to polls. Staying on is only delaying the inevitable.

Every time people sit in fuel queues and gas queues... every time our next generation are deprived of an education...we are losing dollars now and in the much longer term. The fact that we are still peacefully peotrsting despite the welling frustrations and anger is remarkable

Dear international media outlets, We #SriLankans know todays events caught your eye. Why? Because unlike the past month that was all about peaceful protesting, today there was violence. 1/6

Emotions are running high but here’s a great piece by Sarinda Perera reminding us that violence is a doom spiral. Once it starts, it’s hard to reign it in as every little thing acts as a trigger for more. We need to stop, breathe, think. We need to be the bigger people.

Remember this picture every single time you hear someone in your city say "we're not Amsterdam." This was #Amsterdam in the 1970's via Urban Cycling Institute 🚲 . The cities we admire made better choices regarding cars, and are still making them today. Better choices instead of excuses.

When your "education" limits your imagination it's called indoctrination. Those who cannot think for themselves are truly lost. Education should be a rewarding experience which allows you to think, imagine, question, doubt and solve problems. 🧠

Some notes for those coming out or wanting to participate in any way today. Nothing that hasn't been said before - just stay safe and if you're participating, do so in a way that feels right to you. #lka #SriLanka #GoHomeGota

• Stupidity: You think you know everything, without questioning. • Intelligence: You question everything you think you know.

Of course, we are driven by self-interest, it's necessary to survive. But we need wise self-interest that is generous and co-operative, taking others' interests into account. Co-operation comes from friendship, friendship comes from trust, and trust comes from kind-heartedness
