I live in a city where the right to assemble is protected and honored, and I don’t take that right for granted. Little me would be proud to see how deeply this right has become a part of who I am—a person who not only values the power of gathering together but works to make it possible for others. There’s something inspiring about watching democracy in action, even when it’s messy, even when dissonant voices clash. It reminds me that the power to create change, even amid disagreement, is worth celebrating and protecting

To the younger me, who felt that spark of injustice but didn’t know what to do with it, my journey now is proof of what persistence can achieve. It shows that activism isn’t just a phase or a moment of outrage—it’s a lifelong commitment to staying active, to doing the work, to choosing to be part of the solution. It’s not just about being present when it’s easy or when the crowds are large. It’s about being present every day, in all the small actions that add up to meaningful change.
