With Liberty and Equality For All

Things I'm very passionate about is equality for all. The things that breaks my heart about my passion are unequal pay, racism, transphobia, and homophobia. Currently in America women are being paid 77 cents for every dollar men make, for doing the same exact work. This to me seems truly unfair, because many families do depend on the women's salaries. Whats mind-boggling about this is that its 2015, women still aren't considered equal to men. It shows in many ways, in the media, women are treated as objects, sexualizing them. Unlike men, in most cases. Only 95 years ago, women were just allowed to vote. That means, since America was founded, it took them 144 years to finally let women vote. On June 26, 2015 gay marriage was legalized. This shows that America took a step forword and decided that everyone has the right to love and marry, whoever they truly want to.             
Some solutions that can be done, are making awareness, start a campaign, make a fundraiser. Since everyone is mostly online, start a hashtag on many social medias, like Twitter and Instagram. We could also make videos showing our support, and post them on Vine and Youtube.  We can also invest in making t-shirts and bracelets to help gain popularity on the awareness.
