Organize! Not Silence.
Inspired by Audre Lorde’s powerful quote, “Your silence will not protect you,” and the women’s suffrage movement, this piece highlights the transformative power of women’s voices when they organize and refuse to remain silent. Change happens when women speak up and take action. Those who choose to remain silent, believing their inaction will protect them, are mistaken - silence only enables oppressors and harms the cause.
