Sara Ramirez Instagram – None of us are free until all of us are free. 🍉 . . First pic by @madisonswart of me, @trudy0nduty and Mio in D.C. at the March for Gaza on Jan 13th, 2023. We are masked with winter coats on, and I am carrying Mio in a pet backpack on my front with a Palestinian flag hanging off it. We are against Islamophobia, anti-semitism, and genocide. We are against the U.S. government funding these horrific dehumanizing atrocities and we felt it necessary to show up with our queer, non-binary and trans community, which included trans Egyptian Palestinians. Lgbtqia2s community exists worldwide and will not be forgotten. Some like to pass around this tired narrative that we have no business advocating for Palestinian lives because they say that if we were in Gaza a certain kind of violence would be perpetrated on us that wouldn’t in the U.S. Well, Im feeling for those folks and their projections. I’m also here to remind them that here in the U.S. LGBTQIA2S people are still being murdered and discriminated against for being queer – in particular Black, Brown and Indigenous trans and non-binary communities. The point of including us in all spaces is to remind everyone that none of us are free until all of us are free. Humans have a history of violence throughout the world- this is nothing new. And liberation is for ALL OF US. So get used to us being present and accounted for. We matter, whether we’re in the U.S., the Congo, Sudan, Puerto Rico, Haiti, Hawaii or Gaza. And I am sending you all love, no matter how deeply you are hurting. . . . Second pic is by @dj_lehrhaupt of the back of a pair of sneakers that say Free Palestine on the backs of the heels.
