I rise for the social and political inequality that riddles our communities. I rise for those that experience oppression, psychological abuse and violence. I rise to support mutual acceptance. I rise to end personal and corporate greed. I rise to change these numbers: women making 77% of their male counterpart's income, 11 million undocumented citizens, 146.4 million Americans below the poverty line, 1 billion humans in poverty (which is set to double in a decade) across the globe, 100,649 children suffering from abuse, 1 in 3 women that will experience rape or beatings, 43% of Utah's Latinos will not graduate High School, 48% of Utah's African Americans will not graduate high school. I rise to eliminate racism. I rise to advocate for education.
I rise to fight, through love, to end the injustices around us and to empower and be empowered by community.
