I want to see a world where people no longer face persecution, discrimination, and violence on the basis of sex, gender, class, race, ethnicity, ability, age, or sexuality.
I want to see a world where all people are empowered, proud, and peaceful.
I want to see a world where we can finally figure out what it means to be human.
