Disforia por Andy Luján

Por más que lo intento el espejo no logra reflejar lo que percibo en mi interior,

Labios demasiado regordetes.

Caderas demasiado anchas.

But is surviving worth losing my identity?

Who I fought to be?

Dysphoria by Andy Lujan

As hate crimes go up

Suicide rates rise

I want to hide who I am just to continue to survive.

But is surviving worth losing my identity?

Who I fought to be?

Las escuelas públicas pertenecen a todos, excepto a aquellos que las destruirían - Avery Welkin

The truth is that in American society’s democratic ideal, public schools are for everyone. Even though the reality is that public schools were designed with a narrower focus on serving the white and wealthy, it is very clear now that this is not the goal. Public schools are one of the few spaces, along with public libraries, where American society at all socioeconomic levels, racial/ethnic identities, and abilities are welcome to learn without an expectation of spending money.

Boletín del Racismo por Vanessa Larios

Mientras escribo esto, estoy sentado aquí pensando ¿cuándo terminará el racismo? ¿Qué va a hacer falta? Desde mi primer día en el jardín de infantes, me sentí diferente. No sabía inglés, siempre era el último en aprenderlo todo. Mis padres no tenían el típico trabajo estadounidense. Mis padres no eran abogados, médicos ni maestros, mi papá es paisajista y mi mamá limpiaba casas.
