To the future generations,

Existence is resistance. Education is resistance. However, we now live in a world where existing isn’t enough. We must fight for the things we believe in. As I write this, human existence trades the life of beings around them. We incite genocide of forests, animal species, and other human beings. This must stop. I hope by the time you read this, it has.

I promise you, future generations of the world, I will educate the ignorant so in your lifetime your survival does not equal the mass death of others. I will stand on the streets, in the courts, and in the schools to encourage awareness and empathy for the earth.
