We are nations bound together by difficulties… pushing towards a world rid of color lines, discrimination against the disabled, gays & lesbians, trans-gendered people, the injured, the ill, the unwanted, the abused and neglected, men, women & children. We are also here to stand up – stand and be counted to in an effort; a movement against all injustice & oppression. I rise as a rape survivor. I rise and bring others up with me~
