Some time ago a friend of mine posted a social media profile picture that caught my attention. I asked him about it, and he explained to me about the “I am equal” project. For as long as I can remember I have had strong feelings about Equality on several fronts, including rights for individuals with special needs, families without access to adequate medical services, marriage equality, and international civil rights.
A few years ago, I was diagnosed with a rare and challenging form of Cancer, a wise friend calmly reminded me that I am the same person I have always been, but there was now a name for what had been making me sick. And now much the same as that day, I am the same person I have always been, and there is a name for the change I want to see in this world… Equality.
Now it’s my turn, to take my stand in support of equality. No matter your physical or mental limitations, socioeconomic status, sexual identity, or cultural beliefs, now is your chance to share your message of Equality
What the I am equal project has given us is much more than just an amazingly brilliant photo, it’s more like the golden baton on an earth sized relay. It cannot stop here! I have been given a tool for sharing, educating, and proclaiming my belief in Equality, and inviting others to do the same.
