From a High School Student in NYC

October 19, 2015 | Revolution Newspaper | revcom.us

 

Time and time again people have cried out against the injustices of our justice system. The truth is out there. It is outrageous that there is such a disregard for the sanctity of human life. People witness it every day. Generation after generation we are faced with the same system of oppression. I refuse to listen to people keep saying, “Oh well, that’s just the way it is.” I’m sick of it. It should not be this way and it doesn’t have to be. I stand here today to combat that system. When people step off of the sidelines and unite with one another, that is when we can make the changes we need. I have taken up Rise Up October for all our sakes, to change that which we are told we cannot change.
