It's Time to Take a Stand Against This Madness
12 August 19
merican Olympic champion, fencer Race Imboden, took a knee on the medals podium during the national anthem at the Pan-American Games yesterday as he called for social change in the US. He said:
This week I am honored to represent Team USA at the Pan Am Games, taking home Gold and Bronze. My pride however has been cut short by the multiple shortcomings of the country I hold so dear to my heart. Racism, Gun Control, mistreatment of immigrants, and a president who spreads hate are at the top of a long list. I chose to sacrifie my moment today at the top of the podium to call attention to issues that I believe need to be addressed. I encourage others to please use your platforms for empowerment and change.”
We must all join him and others who risk criticism and punishment and take our own personal stands against this madness. Are you ready?
