I refuse to be oppressed by a silence that maintains a toxic “peace.” As silent a killer as cancer, this is no peace at all.

It is fear acting as insidiously as predators appearing as friends…. So I will shout, and shout louder still, until the cover of night and anonymity lifts and predators have nowhere to hide, nowhere to exact their harm.

A right delayed is a right denied. ~ Martin Luther King, Jr.

They don’t stay that way, if you are brave. If you refuse to be broken, defeated…stopped.

Tenacity. Patience. Commitment. Fearlessness. Resilience. All fueled by the righteous rage of unstoppable innocents who cry out for justice and simply refuse to give up.

Refuse.
