***We will not stand by as our brothers and sisters are brutalized, criminalized, and silenced.***

We reject a world where the powerful profit from our poverty and our lives are treated as expendable. We will not wait for justice to be handed down from above.   
We will organize, resist, and take it for ourselves.
