Social Justice Day

When I received the Facebook notification about Social Justice Day the first thing I though of was a recent post of mine that originated out of a shlog/posting on Shaun Groves website - he had posted a YouTube account of Eric Volz. I'd seen the MySpace blurbs and etc but never stopped to long enough to pay attention/listen to it.

So have a listen - do whatever research you feel is necessary if you want - but the purpose in me posting this is to articulate the degrees to which social justice is being consumed and slowly destroyed. We see starving kids via World Vision and some how think that's all the social justice entails, or maybe we just don't think that anything will make a difference. We may feel helpless, but we aren't and it sure isn't a feeling we should accept or let pass us by without a second thought. So have a look, expand your ideas on the whole social justice thing, maybe see that injustice is all around us, and despite feeling overwhelmed we can do the little things.
