"自由从来不是压迫者自愿给予的，而必须由被压迫者争取。"
Simplified meaning
People who have power rarely give up that power on their own. Those who are under unfair control or suffering must stand up and fight to get their freedom. For example, in history, during the civil rights movement in the United States, African Americans faced a lot of discrimination and injustice. They didn’t achieve equal rights just by waiting for it to be granted; they organized protests, marches, and gave powerful speeches demanding equality. This quote suggests that if you feel oppressed or treated unfairly, you need to push for change yourself because those in power won’t simply hand it over. You must take action, speak out, and gather support from others to gain the freedom and rights you deserve.
