"6 Feet Forever"

While the pandemic of COVID-19 is seemingly fading for most of us, those who are older or those who have compromised immune systems will fight this pandemic for years to come. Masks will stay on, and distance will stay kept.

"Fight For Your Daughters"

"And I can not give up this platform to promote complacency and peace when there is a war on my body and a war on my rights, a war on the rights of your mothers, a war on the rights of your sisters, a war on the rights of your daughters. We cannot stay silent." (Paxton Smith)

The younger generation is raised on revolution.
