"Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about the things that matter." - MLK This is your time to speak up. Whether it's widespread surveillance, mass deportations, detentions, denaturalization or any form of stripping away ANYONE'S civil rights and liberties, we cannot be silent. Speak up! We must take the rhetoric of fear and hate at face value. We cannot wait for the rhetoric to transform into policies. If we start speaking then, it will already be too late.
