I think leading by example is important, as I know the next generation is watching us.

We can live nuanced, complicated, exciting lives with no reason for limitation.

Fighting for social justice is not about leaving the mainstream. It is about being right in the middle of it.

I believe that it is my job to fight for the rights of others to have the same rights that I take for granted. As a white, American male, I have had it quite good. I recognize that and fight every day for everyone to have the same opportunities that I have had.

I am certainly vulnerable when I sit down with parents who have lost their children to gun violence. The emotion that they experience is so foreign to me that I find it very hard to say the right things.

Stop the bullsh*t. Stop drawing lines in the sand like previous generations [have done].

We must change the culture of politics first.
