A Fearless Manifesto

• I will take responsibility for my current situation and future progress.
• I refuse to believe there is nothing I can do. I refuse to complain.
• I refuse to be silent in the face of state sanctioned hatred, in the face of laws designed to destroy me and my family.
• I have paid the legal penalty for my offense, and refuse to be broken by an unforgiving system.
• If I can’t find work, I will start my own business and hire other Registered Citizens.
• If someone refuses to rent to me, I will educate them and create an opportunity for change.
• Whenever possible, I will boycott or educate businesses that would not hire a Registered Citizen.
• I will not be a victim, and I will learn to stand on my own.
• I will not let my past dictate my future; nor let a label rob me of my dignity. Who I am today can change hearts and minds tomorrow.
