DEAR FUTURE PRESIDENT...
Kiah Morris, Oxfam Sisters on the Planet ambassador.

Dear Friend –
Today is the New Hampshire primary, and I have something to say to the next US president.
In October, I traveled to El Salvador and Honduras with Oxfam as a Sisters on the Planet ambassador. I saw the lasting impacts of the systematic dehumanization of Black, Latinx, and Indigenous women in Central America. I bore witness to their harrowing stories—and found resonance in my own life story, that of my mother, and my mother’s mother.
No matter where or how you live in this world, we are all human.
As a woman of color, I support those who demand the systemic eradication of white supremacy culture and the defense of civil and human rights. I seek out politicians who speak the unflinching truths about what must change—because the world cannot placate sensitivities about the blood that is on our hands.
Read my letter to the next US president and how you can fight with me for Dignity for All in 2020 and beyond.
Sincerely,
Kiah Morris
Artist, community leader, and poet
Oxfam Sisters on the Planet ambassador
