I Believe In Social Justice

“Whatever the pain is, the lack of healthcare, the lack of living wages, people being locked in cages…all those streams are coming together and forming a mighty rushing river of justice,” the demonstrators said in a group prayer led by Rev. Dr. Barber in El Paso. “We condemn the modern-day slavery, we cast down the injustice.”

“We condemn and call evil and unjust the caging of people, the making people drink from toilets, the refusal to even give them a toothbrush,” the group continued. “You’re holding angels in this place. But you will not hold them forever. We join them now, and not only do we bring condemnation, but we bring hope. It doesn’t have to be this way. America, turn around. America, repent. America, stop. America, change your ways.”

It's a cliche now, but still a true saying: All it takes for evil to prevail is for good people to do nothing.

However, sometimes it is difficult to know just how to make a stand against the unspeakable done by one's own government. Mass demonstrations are so easily hi-jacked by violent people or are used as an excuse for the authorities to get heavier and the media to paint everyone the same.

@Frank52 You don't have to ever remind me how hard it is to do the work...Its so hard it hardly seems fair.

It ISN'T fair, but justice seems always to come at a cost; sadly not always obviously borne by those causing the injustice.
