'Over 100 years ago, my great-great-great grandfather Fredrick Douglass advocated for Black freedom and women’s rights. My generation is still fighting for the same causes.'
I was born into a family of activists and changemakers. My great-great-great grandfather Frederick Douglass has inspired my family for generations to speak out and actively do our part to make the change we desire to see in our nation. Over 100 years ago, Fredrick Douglass advocated for African Americans’ freedom and women’s rights. He was determined to push America to be a true democracy that encompasses all Americans regardless of race or gender.
My generation has been deemed the generation of activists by many as we are not only willing to use our collective voices to speak out but attend marches and protests to advocate together for what we believe. Themarches that took place after George Floyd’s death and the Women’s Marches that were held following the 2016 election have significantly impacted me and my generation.
Collective action, particularly voting and protest, is essential for ensuring that American democracy upholds its values of being inclusive and representative of the nation’s demographic. Although protests are a significant and valuable tool, I want to join collaborative efforts that further my role in evolving our nation and contribute to the solution, which led me to intern atthis summer.
