Solidarity

DACA Student Support Rally - November 14, 2016
If I had to describe the experience in three words: humbling, empowering, uniting.

For all the disenfranchised people: I see you. I am with you. I understand the pain, the fear, the anger. 

Now is our time to make ourselves seen, heard, believed, and validated. 

now. is. our. time.

I stand with you.

I will stay by your side

I will fight your fight,

I will endure the pain,

I will take the weight from your shoulders.

Show me your fight

so that I can pick up 

when you feel like you can't go on.

Share with me your strength

so that I can carry you

when they try to break you down.

Lend me your voice

so that we can say it loud

say it together, 

united as one

With a fist held high;

with a stone cold expression;

shouting at the top of our lungs,

or in silence when the words run out;

marching and stomping,

screaming laughing crying,

making our presence known--

I stand with you.

And I will not let you fall

We stand together.

We fight together.

We survive together.

We will not fall.
