“I consider myself to be an agent of change, and I have learned that change does not come easy or overnight. Instead, we must actively work to make the world a better, safer place for those who are most vulnerable.” – Ashton Mota, LGBTQ+ rights activist #wednesdaywisdom We’re all capable of being agents of change! LGBTQ+ rights activist Ashton began locally, starting a gay-straight alliance club at his school. He later became one of the faces of the “Yes on 3” movement, which was started to defend a state law giving people the right to use the bathroom, locker room, or other space designated for the gender with which they identified. Ashton reminds us that changing the world for the better may seem like a daunting task, but it is possible! Join Roots & Shoots to start making a difference today!
