What does D-A-S-H mean?

A dash is a symbol of association and combination. As a punctuation mark, it connects thoughts and provides room for associations and sudden inspirations. A dash allows you to add a critical remark, and calls on you to take a breath for a second and just reflect.

"Dash" is also that little pinch of something that can improve or spoil a dish. "Dash" can signify sudden and rapid movement of an individual or a group. "Dash" means determination and enthusiasm.

Nevertheless "dash" most often implies violence, as in "dashing heads" and "dashing dreams", i.e. the shattering of heads and dreams. The ambiguity of "dash" reflects the contradiction and inconsistency of the circumstances in which D-A-S-H has set its goal of supporting and connecting those groups and individuals working with determination and energy against racist discrimination and violence.
