    Even in my local community, I had the chance to participate in protests and events to show my support. I have attempted to actively work for these causes in the tradition of Ida B. Wells. In addition, I have focused my attention on the present issues in the Transgender community. To the best of my knowledge, I have attempted to educate myself about the injustices these individuals face, the laws that will affect their livelihoods, the statistics of homelessness in Trans communities, and other predominant issues that infiltrate their community. In the present day, Americans of many backgrounds face discrimination and injustices, and I feel that it is our job to educate ourselves on these problems and combat them in many ways, just like Ida B.

    All women should be treated how they treat themselves. What I mean by this is that if a woman does not treat herself with any self-respect than why should she receive it from anyone. This related back to the documentary in that women in these rap videos are being portray in a sexual matter that allows them to be disrespected by men. My stance on this is that if a woman wants to go on camera and throw her self at a man she is not respecting herself and therefore cannot demand respect form anyone else. If they are getting paid to allow these men to do what ever they want to them then why should they have respect for them.

It inspired me to propose and lead a school wide fundraiser to raise money for youth homelessness and donate the contributions to Larkin Street Youth Service — a local organization in San Francisco that provides shelter, drug abuse treatments, counseling, transitional living programs, food, clothes, medical care, and drug training to homeless youth. The money was raised through a raffle, as well as through a game of jeopardy where the answers where different gender identities, and sexual and romantic orientations. This game helped to engage and educate the students on the large variety of identities in the LGBTQ community and what each one means. I also wrote and distributed information about youth LGBTQ homelessness so people were more aware of the large problem many LGBTQ youth face.
