"When people see me speaking up and using my voice, they will say, "oh, she is speaking up for herself and her family, and I should do the same." By doing this, we are one step closer to bringing the justice that our community needs. This will show the government that change needs to happen. We cannot be satisfied with what we have now, we need to have a mindset where we will continue to change for the better." Melany Inga, PGC Peer Leader, 2019 - 2021 You realize to change something you need to speak out If no one uses their voice, no one gets heard No thing is accomplished, there is no change You encourage others to speak up with you It can all start with you Favour Agunwa, PGC Peer Leader, 2020 - 2021 "It will never hurt for you to speak up because when you speak up then you are put on the radar. Even if you feel like you are going nowhere with your voice just keep on trying because you will eventually be heard." Sergio Castro, PGC Peer Leader, 2020 - 2021 "When you do not speak up, you are hurting yourself because you are not allowing yourself to be heard. You are not allowing for your ideas and opinions to flow through other individuals' minds. When you are not sharing your ideas and thoughts, you become satisfied with the thoughts and ideas of others. You are demonstrating that everything is fine and that you have no issue with what is going on. You are committing to fitting in and being stuck in a box with the ideas of others. You provide a false idea that you are comfortable with their thoughts and actions. You have a voice that should be heard, regardless of what is to come." Ronny Hernandez, PGC Peer Leader, 2020 - 2021
