The most powerful acts of resistance are sometimes the simple choices we make each day. The words we write. The pictures we take. The people we support. And the decision to step outside our home. To volunteer at migrant shelters. To stand with the most oppressed and marginalized. To fight against unjust systems. These are the daily acts of resistance of writer and reporter Tamara Pearson.
