“The chains represent society holding us as a group back from reaching piece and equality (with race, sexuality, gender, etc.;) The hands symbolize everyone fighting for it. The way they are almost touching is how, us as society, are almost at that point but not quite there yet. I chose this category is because with being part of the LGBTQA+ community I know how scary it can be to be in this period of time. With other people also being judged for being in multiple communities I can imagine how much scarier it can be for them. With doing a bit of research to learn more about what is happening in our government it’s not good. Especially with the number of young people that are not voting. I made this secondly as a reminder to vote this election.”
