Watching incident after incident of police brutality on people of color during non-violent situations ignited fear in me as a parent that other ethnicities are not forced to have. The topic of conversations with my son became, “This has to stop. What can we do?” My answer: We can join the fight.
Under the The U.S. Constitution, “We the People” have the right to equal protection under the law and freedom of speech. Yet, we are living under unjust laws created to marginalize minority and low-socioeconomic communities and take away their voice.
I have never taken for granted the freedoms I enjoy because my parents sacrificed so much leaving their home. This family history has guided my values and opinions on freedom and equality.
