Sarah Biezanson came out to not only reject Trump’s policies but use her voice to support those who are affected by hate and violence.

“I’m here to reject Trump and his blatantly racist policies. I’m also here in support of the broader causes that we saw a lot of people rally behind in solidarity last week for the Women’s March. It wasn’t just about women’s issues. It was also about recognizing the intersectional ways in which all these things come together. Myself, as a white woman, I have a lot more power and privilege. I don’t necessarily want it but I want to use it for good. I want to use it to raise my voice in support black women, trans black women who face violence. I want to use my voice in support of Muslims who are facing persecution and hatred in the world over, and the terrible form it took last night in Quebec. I’m raising my voice in opposition to the rise of fascism that I think we are seeing everywhere in the world. It happens in a creeping way that is a danger to all of us, and if we don’t speak up now, tomorrow they will come for us.”

“And to say, indeed, I will punch a Nazi. I will if it comes to that.”
