“All too often, when we see injustices, both great and small, we think, That's terrible, but we do nothing. We say nothing. We let other people fight their own battles. We remain silent because silence is easier. Qui tacet consentire videtur is Latin for 'Silence gives consent.' When we say nothing, when we do nothing, we are consenting to these trespasses against us.”

Today is not the day to remain silent but to use our voices and stop this injustice that is long overdue. It is in educating and discussing with others how we become the change we all seek. We cannot let this issue be forgotten and we are here in total support.
