The social justice movement of the last few years has ultimately facilitated a conversation which has proven to be necessary. For many years prior many issues were ignored, disregarded, and pushed under the rug, but with recent events these issues have been brought to the forefront. The significance of social justice and the necessity for open conversation is as especially prominent now as it has ever been. Even as our nation is struck with immense loss and polarization, there has still been a vast positive impact of this movement. In my community, with community leaders as well as friends and family this has generated a space of educational growth. Coming from a political family, I have never shied away from advocacy or using my voice to speak out about pressing or emergent issues. Racial disparity in particular is one which is incredibly important to me as cultural awareness and generating a sense of respect and belonging are standards which I try my best to uphold. Although some of these conversations can be difficult or uncomfortable for some, they promote compassion, sympathy, a listening ear and healthy debate which is important for any high-functioning society to improve and evolve. Freedom of speech, to petition, and assemble has proven to be especially beautiful through this tumultuous period that has reenforced the importance of social justice. With peaceful protest, social media uproar, and event organization the social justice movements of the past few years have proven to be some of the most powerful and widespread displays of the United States democratic system. This same system has and continues to inspire other nations to fight for our movements as well and has really gone on to show the unity that has developed as a result of a common goal for achieving social justice. Social justice movements within my community have emitted strength and resilience. They have shown that together we can in fact face a systematic process which has disparaged minorities for decades upon centuries. The fight for social justice has truly just begun, and the beauty of this movement is the hope it gives underrepresented communities like some of which I am apart of. The movement has generated a sense of inclusion, belonging, and respect as well as connecting people from all around the world with the common goal of achieving equality and upholding the liberty for which the United States was built on.
