I’ve told you before about Mike Edwards‘ Transformation newsletter.
I suppose you can call this social commentary. But I prefer to think of this as leadership…. building community…. respecting differences…. recognizing the intersectionality of so very many issues….
So here’s a great article from Transformation Newsletter…where love meets social justice…
Surely this is leadership. Just as are these quotations from my own quote collection….
- “We must take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormenter, never the tormented.” (Eli Weisel)
- “If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor.” (Desmond Tutu)
- “Sometimes to be Silent is to Lie.” (Miguel Unamuno, Spanish philosopher, about the Spanish Civil War. Zinn quotes this about the Vietnam war)
- “Creating social change is exciting. It’s proof that we are alive and thinking. What could be better than to work for a future where fairness is the bottom line?” (Alfre Woodward, Robin Hood Was Right)
