I am an activist because I fight for what I believe in, and I refuse to stay silent. I am fortunate enough to have grown up in a place where I have the right to be an activist. There are so many people in so many parts of the world that cannot stand up for themselves. They cannot fight back against injustice and inequality because doing so would mean risking their lives and the lives of those they care about. Because of where I live, what I look like, and the rights given to me as an Indian citizen, I am in a position where I am allowed to speak up for myself. It would be a shame if I didn't use that privilege to help bring awareness to real issues concerning or harming others.
As an activist, I fight for the equality, justice, and humanity for ALL! Not just some, or others like me, but for everyone; those with different skin tones, different backgrounds & etc. We are all human. We all have skin and bones. We all have the same color blood. I will not stop fighting until we are ALL equal.
