For over a year I watched the vitriol.

For the past two months I felt the hate.

In the last week I lost much hope.

Today I was told to wait for change.

But instead of waiting, I will fight.

I will fight for justice and negate the hatred.

I am American.

I’m here to stay.

A big thank you to Hamlet Au of New World Notes for encouraging this Avatars Against Trump movement and to Linden Lab for their supportive statement.
