Gabriel Maldonado

Activists are not meant to be beacons of moral righteousness or symbols of utopia.  We're here to acknowledge & address a system that seeks the oppression & suppression of our people.  If you believe anything beyond that then that is a narrative you must take ownership of and not impose on my  brothers and sisters who are equally as you, wounded healers." 

-Gabriel Maldonado
