Returning to the origins of #RespectMyVote, born 18 years ago. Reflecting on it's birth is a bittersweet moment recognizing where we've come from & where we have left to go. Here's to 18 more years of artivism & demanding that the powers that be respect our vote.

🗣️ Climate conversations don’t always have to start with fear - sometimes they start with laughter!
