Michelle Borth Instagram – It’s easy to lose perspective when everything around you becomes so chaotic. It’s like trying to see straight after riding the tea cups and your head is still spinning it takes a moment to find your footing. I understand our country is in chaos, because we’re fighting for something worth fighting for. If you’ve been to any #blacklivesmatter protest or supported the movement in any way you’ve exercised your freedom of speech, freedom to assemble, and freedom of press in a free democratic society. These rights have allowed us to bring about change and reform throughout history, and will continue in the future. Now imagine having them taken away. Imagine not being able to speak your opinion, having no freedom of press, and not being allowed to protest for justice, civil rights, and equality. It’s difficult to imagine, and unimaginable to think what we would even look like as a society today. SO, as I take a moment to find my own footing, and let my head stop spinning, I just want share a little bit of my perspective. Hong Kong is currently right now losing their democracy to China. Everything we have a god given right to in this country is being snuffed out to an entire society that have only known the same rights we may sometimes take for granted. China is now enforcing a National Security Law over Hong Kong, which has been autonomous from China, abiding by the one country two systems agreement since 1997. So all the rights we are currently flexing here in the USA fighting for #BLM movement will soon be gone to the citizens of Hong Kong. If you believe in defending democracy, freedom, and basic human rights, I’m asking you to please go to the link in my bio and donate to the Hong Kong Democracy Council. #freehongkong #defenddemocracy #glorytohongkong #humanrights #humanity #HKDC
