We’re killing the planet for this vomit?

🎯Silence teaches the next generation that power means domination.

➡️ We must reject this unequivocally—not just with words, but with our actions. Because true leadership is defined by integrity, and the dignity, safety, and humanity of women are non-negotiable.

Now you can find it by touch in a moment every time.

(De nada!)

The trauma of racial profiling is real, and its effects—especially on youth—are long-lasting.

We must ensure that public spaces remain safe and welcoming—not sites of fear or intimidation.

Your voice matters. Don’t let silence win. Know your rights, and protect the rights of those you serve.
