Lucy's #Revolution

Lucy, one of our interns at Writing on the Wall, discusses what revolution means to her. 

Revolution to me is unity. It’s millions of people across the globe taking to the streets to fight for our rights. It’s speaking out and adding to the conversation about politics, our environment and health. It’s not sitting back and saying “little old me isn’t going to change anything.”

The Women’s March in January 2017 is a perfect example. It’s so inspirational to see streets across the globe covered in strong, independent women (and men!) of every colour, shape, religion, age, sexuality and socioeconomic status, who once again said “enough is enough.”

There has never been a greater time for a revolution, saying “Don’t worry about it, it’ll all be fine” just doesn’t cut it anymore when parliamentary action is causing hurt, anger and possibly danger to those across the country.

Right now at the height of a divided world, the society I hope for feels like a million miles away.  However, we must continue to speak out on what we believe in and use our voices to fight for the rights of those unrepresented individuals who do not have the capacity to do so for themselves. 

Take a look at our #Revolution!
