Stand

My family and I already left our homes once to escape a broken and oppressive system. I have no interest in leaving my home a second time. And I definitely hope that our generation does not go down in history as a "tuck and run" generation. I will stay here and hold America accountable for the promise that brought my family and so many others like mine here-and I hope the pain we're feeling today stays with us as long as it takes and powers us to create the country, and the world, we want for ourselves and those who will inherit it.
