I sign this plea, my voice untamed, To claim the name some once defamed. Mulatto—not just Black or White, But in the Grey, we find our light. A class apart, yet not alone, A bond of flesh, of blood, of bone. Not split in half, but mixed, complete— The Grey is where our nations meet. We are the Grey, the bond, the hue, The future’s face, both bold and true. In love we stand, both fierce and free, For country, kin, and history. No hate will break, nor spite divide, We stand as one, in love and pride. For country, and for those before, We rise United, forevermore .
Marquis supported: Petition to Reinstate the "Mulatto" Racial Classification
As Jews, a community that has long understood the dangers of systemic oppression and the importance of fighting for justice, we must stand up now for our transgender citizens, who are facing legal and social challenges that threaten their rights and dignity. We must ensure that we do not repeat the mistakes of history. It is easy to draw a parallel between Martin Niemöller’s “Then they came...” poem and what we are witnessing today. In light of this, we say... First they came for the transgender people, and I did not speak out—because I was not transgender. Then they came for the immigrants, and I did not speak out—because I was not an immigrant. Then they came for the right to abortion, and I did not speak out—because I did not need an abortion. Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me. Never again!!
