“I stand for women.
I stand for men.
I stand for those the world ignores.
I stand for those who break, yet rise again.
I stand for the disabled, the lost, the poor.
I stand for the outcast, the unheard, the unseen.
I stand for children, for their dreams and their light.
I stand for the elderly, their wisdom, their fight.
I stand for freedom, for truth, for choice.
I stand for every race, every culture, every voice.
I stand for the weary, the hopeless, the scarred.
I stand for equality, no matter how hard.
I stand for justice, for love, for peace.
I stand for you, I stand for me.
I stand, period.”
