Do You Have a Story to Tell?

We believe in the power of stories to connect people. We believe that speaking out against bigotry is one of the greatest weapons in defeating it. We believe that ignorance should no longer be used as an alibi for inaction. Your story of survival may (or may not) be one of triumph and overcoming discrimination.  If it is, please include that story of discrimination; we believe any story of survival is most powerful when it includes what you have endured.
