\n

I’ve never felt any sort of backlash or friction as a result of the stance I’ve taken in my career in support of [my brother] or any other human rights… hopefully it stays that way going forward.<\/p>\n

It’s important to understand, whether it’s growing up with women<\/a>, whether it’s growing up with other ethnic groups, it’s important to experience anything different from what you know to encourage and cultivate compassion and understanding.<\/p>\n

Growing up with women<\/a> helped me, but growing up in the theatre helped me, growing up in a progressive community helped me. I think it’s really important to put faces to the situations that we’re navigating as society.— Chris Evans to The Fix<\/em><\/a> when asked what inspires his activism.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
