Every Journey Deserves Dignity
Issue 015

Sometimes, resistance is a community’s greatest expression of care. Resistance becomes a way to honor our collective past, protect our dignity, and insist on a future where everyone is seen and heard. In this light, protest isn’t the absence of unity but the presence of purpose. Standing with the migrants of our communities is not just an act of compassion. It’s a declaration that every journey deserves dignity and every newcomer deserves a place to belong.
When neighbors come from different places, they bring with them new perspectives, traditions, and solutions that enrich the cultural fabric of a place. Diversity isn’t a challenge to overcome. It’s a gift to build with.
