Manifesto Draft

To our dear brothers and sisters,

We, the young artists of today, state that racial discrimination should not be a problem inflicting 2019 after the relentless endeavours by our leader’s past from Mandela to Ambedkar from Martin Luther King to Abraham Lincoln. Today the people of our world should feel accepted, then why is it that wars continue to wage on borders and trickle down into our societies, why is that there are 70.8 million people displaced due to violence or persecution, why is that the children, our future, are caged and hungry and the leaders of the world divide and rule all of us, yet again.

We demand a borderless world.
A world where a soul is valued for more than its skin.
A world where we can feel accepted and respected no matter where we are
A world where the children, our future, are supported and educated on culture and racial ethnicities by race representatives A world where unbiased media is represented by all ethnicities based on geographical demographics
A world where dismissive racial vocabulary does not exist.

We, the young artists, are distinguished by racial backgrounds but brought together by vision. We want to work towards inspiring change, help people feel supported in their beliefs and be hopeful about our future generations.

We welcome the harsh truths of life.
Change is inevitable.
Globalization is the future.
You are so much more than a colour.
You are one of us.

The above is a manifesto draft I have created post my groups discussion.
