social-justice

I could go into their reality any time I chose to, but they could never come into mine. This is what I called 'helping' them.

Let's make justice a process, not an afterthought

We refused to be what world want us to be- BAD. We are what we are- GOOD. And that's the way it is going to be.

And a human being whose life is nurtured in an advantage which has accrued from the disadvantage of other human beings, and who prefers that this should remain as it is, is a human being by definition only, having much more in common with the bedbug, the tapeworm, the cancer, and the scavengers of the deep sea.

Our problems stem from our acceptance of this filthy, rotten system.

[I]n America, wrongs can be righted,warriors can wear skirts and blouses,and the bravest heartsmay beat in girlsonly five feet tall.

Sir, _ Whether women are the equals of men has been endlessly debated; whether they have souls has been a moot point; but can it be too much to ask [for a definitive acknowledgement that at least they are animals?_ Many hon. members may object to the proposed Bill enacting that, in statutes respecting the suffrage, 'wherever words occur which import the masculine gender they shall be held to include women;' but could any object to the insertion of a clause in another Act that 'whenever the word "animal" occur it shall be held to include women?' Suffer me, thorough your columns, to appeal to our 650 [parliamentary] representatives, and ask _ Is there not one among you then who will introduce such a motion? There would then be at least an equal interdict on wanton barbarity to cat, dog, or woman_ Yours respectfully, AN EARNEST ENGLISHWOMAN

Many of the seminal social issues of our time - poverty, lack of education, human trafficking, war and torture, domestic abuse - can track their way to our theology of, or beliefs about, women, which has its roots in what we believe about the nature, purposes, and character of God.

Julia supposed that there was also a difference in perspective: 'The practical level was another level down [in 1960s social movements] and not so interesting. I don't know much about organizing, but I feel as though, if the reality of the situation doesn't change people's heads, then nothing's going to change their heads. Marches and those things are not the work of it. The work of it is whatever the work is.

They focused a large amount of their wrath on people trying to add dialogue about feminism and diversity in gaming, condemning them as __ocial Justice Warriors._ (That label was always so weird to me, because how is that an insult? __ocial Justice Warrior_ actually sounds pretty badass.)

...it is the most militant, most radical intervention anyone can make to not only speak of love, but to engage in the practice of love. For love as the foundation of all social movements for self-determination is the only way we create a world that domination and dominator thinking cannot destroy. Anytime we do the work of love we are doing the work of ending domination.

If your social consciousness seems stuck in 1975, 2014 is gonna be a rough ride.

Rules of taste enforce structures of power.

...in order to achieve improved outcomes for families at risk, a paradigm shift is required so that unequal outcomes for families and children are seen as social injustices, rather than as products of individual dysfunction or deficit

Wisdom is using your head, separating right from wrong, and doing what is right.

For a better world, we need education. nevertheless, more than education, we need people with common sense.

I think there some kind of instinct connection between me and children. When I see children I find it quiet hard to take my eyes off them, and I could not hold my smile either. I really love their simplicity and innocence. If everyone would've have been childlike, not childish, the world would be a better place.

It is a beautiful thing to be on fire for justice_ there is no greater joy than inspiring and empowering others___specially the least of these, the precious and priceless wretched of the earth!
