International Justice Day

What would you stand up for?

What would you speak out for?

What would you fight for?

Those are all good questions, and yes I know each question ends with a preposition but that's not the point right now! Watch this video and then finish reading the rest of this blog...

International Justice Day

I don't know about you but that video speaks powerful words to me. Words that aren't thought about in OUR regular routine but for some people in this world these words are dealt with every day...

Walking miles for water, unclean water that will harm their bodies.
Children working instead of playing and learning.
Being beaten because your color isn't the same as the person standing next to you.
Being sold for sex by your father or family member.
Deciding whether to pay for food or medicine. And for most, not having the medicine accessible to them.

...this is happening right NOW. As you and I sit here, sipping on our Starbucks or wrapped up on sofas, people are suffering! I can't wrap my mind around the thought of not doing anything about this. I can't grasp the thought of sitting back and hearing these stories over and over. It's time to do something about it.

Will you stand up for them?

Will you speak out for them?

Will you fight for them?
