If you hate the gay man, stand up to me.

If you hate the gay man, stand up to me.

If you hate the strong woman, stand up to me.

if you hate my brown, my black, my Asian, Muslim, immigrant brothers and sisters, stand up to me…

If you hate and fear people who come to this place, wishing for a better life and you harm and fight them…stand up to me…

Stand up to me, and I will educate you.

I will fight you with my dollars, my votes, my words, my voice…

I will donate my time, my effort, my hope and my love to fight intolerance, hate, ugliness.

I will give whatever it takes to turn the tide, and make a place for my people.

I am not afraid of you.

Ready to fight for what is right.
