In Loving Memory of Andrew Joseph, Jr.
Though he may no longer be physically with us, his warrior spirit lives on in our hearts and in the work we continue to do every single day. As the saying goes, the living must dedicate themselves to the unfinished work advanced by those who fought so hard for us. We owe it to him to carry the torch, champion his vision, and continue the righteous fight.
"I am not fighting for justice. I am fighting to make sure that people are safe." -Andrew Joseph Jr.
