Climate justice, gender violence, Palestine, anti-war, LGBTQIA+ rights, Transgender rights, gender equality, abortion rights, Black Lives Matter, and voting rights…. I have protested and organized in the streets in multiple countries, exercising my right to assemble, my right to protest, and my freedom of speech as a stakeholder and as an ally. I believe that change comes from the ground up, from community-led movements, not handed down from our governments. We have a responsibility to act when our governments aren’t listening.

I choose to engage in several forms: through art, through my humanitarian work, through my writing, through sit-ins and demonstrations, and through protest in solidarity with the community. I believe all of these movements are intertwined; we cannot separate climate justice from Palestine from gender violence, from trans rights, voting rights, abortion rights, and from the general overall anti-war movement that focuses on decolonization. These issues are not isolated, just as we are not isolated from them as individual humans; they are part of an interconnected web of social justice struggles that require us to recognize our liberation weaves across borders and identity politics.
