Fighting institutional systems of oppression begins in our communities, with our friends and neighbors to build a voice, a choir, a movement for diversity, equity and inclusion. There are ethical ways to challenge bigotry and prejudice in person and in law. “Freedom isn’t free. Sometimes one must fight.”

With live music by Lindsay Wilson.
