Forever I will remember
Forever I will remember those hours in the pouring rain, changing the status quo, that made my life more hopeful.
Forever I will remember the eloquent speeches reigning with the passion and energy of our unstoppable movement, representing our compelling and influential collective voice.
Forever I will remember the awakening harmonized music unifying all people together in solidarity for a livable future.
Forever I will remember the drenched streets flooded with the courageous power of ordinary people bouncing the colorful parachutes of our one voice.
