Survivor – Kate Yang: Former child bride fights to end child marriage in California

Here’s a shout out to Kate Yang  who was interviewed by The Fresno State Collegian, and published this week about her advocacy to End Child Marriage in California, and nationally.

This quote… this means so much, and is so seldom spoken.

“What’s important to understand is that this wasn’t culture as identity, it was culture being used to justify removing a child’s autonomy and safety,” Yang said. “

The reporter did an excellent job, as did Kate in speaking her truth.   It is my honor to have walked beside Kate over the past few years as she advocated for Ending Child Marriage in Washington State, and is now speaking up on all of her growing platforms, reaching not only Colorado and California, but national reach with an outsized impact.
