Unabashed

~If standing in solidarity with the marginalized is extreme

Then I Am an extremist.

If having empathy for the ostracized is radical

Then I Am a radical.

If standing unmoved in my convictions is partisan

Then I Am a partisan.

These labels don't deter me

But they embolden me

And they give me the strength to fight.

 

Embrace the ridicule.~

In pursuit of justice it is noble to be the voice of those who for whatever reason are not able to speak for themselves.

Keep the flag of humanity flying high.
