Phang: We don’t need the Ten Commandments hanging in Texas schools. What we need is common-sense gun legislation—so the kids can live.

Leadership that centres the most vulnerable and lead with humility. He called into Gaza daily and apologized for Residential school harm in Canada.

When we revolt it’s not for a particular culture. We revolt simply because, for many reasons, we can no longer breathe
