Why I Protest: Over the past week I have gone to a couple protests to fight for the black lives matter movement. We marched for miles chanting for basic human rights. This was the most heartbreaking yet peaceful experience of my life. Protesting made me realize, growing up I have never been in fear of being killed or losing a loved one by our “heros”. I am privileged because of my skin color. I used and will continue to use that privilege until there's a change in society. We shouldn't have to protest and riot because people of color are still being treated unequally compared to their white counterparts. Everyone deserves the same basic human rights and fairness.
