That one's self-determination is defended and supported first by one's humanity, and second by the laws of this land. Furthermore, that social justice demands the respect of the aforementioned diversity of persons, the acknowledgement of an equal opportunity of all marginalized groups, and the fight against all things unjust and oppressive, particularly when faced against a political ideology that attempts to infringe upon civil liberties, and the rights of those residing in this country.
