What motivates you to be a changemaker in your community?

What motivates me to be a changemaker is the belief that democracy should be lived, not just studied. Whether it’s advocating for voting rights, amplifying marginalized voices, or working alongside others to reimagine systems that no longer serve us, I’m inspired by community-driven policy to create tangible change.
