In one of her speeches at a Poor People's Campaign rally, Brittany said, "I’m a woman, I’m White, I’m Latina, I’m Black, I’m Queer, and I’m a combat veteran. As a person existing at the intersection of these identities, I carry a grave conviction in my core that there can be no economic, racial or gender liberation without addressing the militarism that is strangling the empathy and morality out of our society."
