Equality

The Declaration of Independence states that "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."

To me this means that by law, regardless of a person's color, race, religion, or identity, everyone should have the same opportunity. Sadly, there are systemic disadvantages for many of our fellow citizens. We should work to break down barriers to equality, reach out to those that are marginalized, and eliminate systemic oppression anywhere we find it.
