“You’ve taught me to be more sensitive to the emotional fatigue of people of color and LGBTQIA. You bear a burden by the very nature of your identity that my cisgendered whiteness doesn’t even begin to understand.”

— Emmaly S.

“You taught me the importance of intersectionality and how we can’t be exclusive about WHO we fight for…You have taught me the importance of never being silent, never reeeeally resting too long from the fight. That when people’s lives are being lost, one can’t wait for the next death to start speaking up again. You’ve never stopped fighting against racism, misogyny, homophobia, or transphobia and lead by example in that regard.”

— Brian L.
