My sister is bold, independent, and not afraid to wear overalls. Some of her first words as a child were "that's not fair," and she's been committed to social justice ever since. She's my hero. ~ Lena Dunham
Social Justice quotes by Lena Dunham
the phantom of social justice tormented him. ~ Victor Hugo
Social Justice quotes by Victor Hugo
I could never live happily in Africa-or anywhere else-until I could live freely in Mississippi. ~ Alice Walker
Social Justice quotes by Alice Walker
Women know the damnation of charity because the habit of civilization has always been to throw them cheap alms rather than give them good wages. ~ Rebecca West
Social Justice quotes by Rebecca West
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. ~ Sarah Bessey
Social Justice quotes by Sarah Bessey
It might come as a surprise, but the Bible also addresses the importance of corporate responsibility. The Old Testament "law of gleaning" speaks loud and clear about this. Leviticus 19: 9-10 (NIV) summarizes this important social justice law which is also restated in Deuteronomy 24: "'When you reap the harvest of your land, do not reap to the very edges of your field or gather the gleanings of your harvest. Do not go over your vineyard a second time or pick up the grapes that have fallen. Leave them for the poor and the foreigner. I am the LORD your God." This law from God Himself, commanded landowners, business owners in our language today, to leave some of their potential profits for immigrants and the poor. ~ Robert Chao Romero
Social Justice quotes by Robert Chao Romero
The real struggle is not between East and West, or capitalism and communism, but between education and propaganda. ~ Martin Buber
Social Justice quotes by Martin Buber
The fight for truth ... is not just our right as free citizens of free societies. It is our duty as citizens of the earth. ~ Vandana Shiva
Social Justice quotes by Vandana Shiva
There are no illegitimate children, only illegitimate parents-if the term is to be used at all. ~ Bernadette Devlin
Social Justice quotes by Bernadette Devlin
… our fates are profoundly intertwined. We have to take care of one another. ~ Wes Moore
Social Justice quotes by Wes  Moore
The chief object of education is not to learn things but to unlearn things. ~ Gilbert K. Chesterton
Social Justice quotes by Gilbert K. Chesterton
That a Jew is despised or persecuted is bad for him, of course-but far worse for the Christian who does it-for although persecuted he can remain a good Jew-whereas no Christian who persecutes can possibly remain-if he ever was one-a good Christian. ~ Phyllis Bottome
Social Justice quotes by Phyllis Bottome
Our economic assistance must be carefully targeted, and must make maximum use of the energy and efforts of the private sector ... Economic freedom is the world's mightiest engine for abundance and social justice ... Developing countries need to be encouraged to experiment with a growing variety of arrangements for profit sharing and expanded capital ownership. ~ Ronald Reagan
Social Justice quotes by Ronald Reagan
But if you sit around thinking what to do and end up not doing anything, why bother even thinking about it? You're better off going out on the town and having a good time. No, we have to think and act. That's what we're doing here, and that's what you have to do. ~ Elvia Alvarado
Social Justice quotes by Elvia Alvarado
The bottom line is the driver was twenty to twenty-five years older than the robbery suspect. Both husband and wife were college- educated, middle-class American citizens, like you and me."
"Except that they were black, and we are not," Jennifer states the obvious. ~ Mark M. Bello
Social Justice quotes by Mark M. Bello
For the Christian one dislocating, self-impoverishing hour spent with a child living in a broken-down dump is worth more than all the burial mounds of rhetoric, all the enfeebled good intentions, all the mumbling and fumbling and tardiness of those Christians who are so busy cultivating their own holiness that they cannot hear the anguished cry of the child in the slum. ~ Brennan Manning
Social Justice quotes by Brennan Manning
Martin Luther King, Jr.'s peaceful, determined struggle for social justice, and Sargent Shriver, who launched the Peace Corps, were early heroes. A career of public service was the ultimate aspiration. ~ Queen Noor Of Jordan
Social Justice quotes by Queen Noor Of Jordan
Being a feminist means that you believe in civil rights and social justice. ~ Janeane Garofalo
Social Justice quotes by Janeane Garofalo
I think the iPod is the true face of Republican politics, and I'm in favor of the music industry ... standing up proud and saying it out loud: We in the Chiclet-manufacturing business are not about social justice, ... we're not about a coherent set of national ideals, we're not about wisdom. We're about choosing what WE want to listen to and ignoring everything else ... . We're about giving ourselves a mindless feel-good treat every five minutes. ... We're about persuading ten-year-old children to spend twenty-five dollars on a cool little silicone iPod case that costs a licensed Apple Computer subsidiary thirty-nine cents to manufacture. ~ Jonathan Franzen
Social Justice quotes by Jonathan Franzen
I think each village was meant to feel pity for its own sick and poor whom it can help and I doubt if it is the duty of any private person to fix his mind on ills which he cannot help. This may even become an escape from the works of charity we really can do to those we know. God may call any one of us to respond to some far away problem or support those who have been so called. But we are finite and he will not call us everywhere or to support every worthy cause. And real needs are not far from us. ~ C.S. Lewis
Social Justice quotes by C.S. Lewis
With the people, for the people, by the people. I crack up when I hear it; I say, with the handful, for the handful, by the handful, cause that's what really happens. ~ Fannie Lou Hamer
Social Justice quotes by Fannie Lou Hamer
Exposing their own humility and vulnerability is one of the most difficult challenges for white antiracist, even after achieving an autonomous white racial identity. ~ Eileen O'Brien
Social Justice quotes by Eileen O'Brien
The economic illusion is the belief that social justice is bad for economic growth. ~ Robert Kuttner
Social Justice quotes by Robert Kuttner
Chivalry is a poor substitute for justice, if one cannot have both. Chivalry is something like the icing on the cake, sweet but not nourishing. ~ Nellie L. McClung
Social Justice quotes by Nellie L. McClung
True peace can rarely be imposed from the outside; it must be born within and between communities through meetings and dialogue and then carried outward. ~ Jean Vanier
Social Justice quotes by Jean Vanier
There is no doubt that the biblical concept of the Kingdom calls for a ministry to the suffering, the imprisoned, the oppressed, the hungry and whomever is dehumanized by an unjust society. In abstract, almost all of us can affirm this with enthusiasm. When it is the vocation, however, of one of our number to make this Gospel imperative, a matter demanding and requiring us to change our comfortable ways, then many of us fall away. The prophet has never been popular among his other contemporaries. He has been stoned, beheaded, crucified and shot. If not killed, we have been all too ready to vilify him or her in the name of God, little realizing that it may well be God who sent the prophet to challenge our complacency. ~ Urban T. Holmes III
Social Justice quotes by Urban T. Holmes III
Goods which are not shared are not goods. ~ Fernando De Rojas
Social Justice quotes by Fernando De Rojas
Meaningful progress toward social justice cannot be made in sclerotic education systems that put adults' job security before children's civil rights. ~ Arthur C. Brooks
Social Justice quotes by Arthur C. Brooks
If you look at the science that describes what is happening on earth today and aren't pessimistic, you don't have the correct data. If you meet people in this unnamed movement and aren't optimistic, you haven't got a heart. ~ Paul Hawken
Social Justice quotes by Paul Hawken
Those who commit injustice bear the greatest burden. ~ Hosea Ballou
Social Justice quotes by Hosea Ballou
We should be able to stand up for our ideals and not get struck down. We should be able to protest in our streets without the need for armed protection. A world of life, liberty, and love should be allowed to blossom in our towns and cities. ~ Rivera Sun
Social Justice quotes by Rivera Sun
Because of how rarely our privilege is examined, even our social justice movements will tend to focus on the most privileged and most well represented people within those groups. Anti-racism groups will often tend to prioritize the needs of straight men of color, feminist groups will tend to prioritize the needs of white women, LGBTQ groups will tend to prioritize the needs of white gay cisgender men, disability rights groups will tend to prioritize the needs of disabled white men...Because the needs of the most privileged are usually the ones prioritized, they are often the only ones considered when discussing solutions to oppression and inequality. These solutions, not surprisingly, often leave the underprivileged populations in our movements behind. ~ Ijeoma Oluo
Social Justice quotes by Ijeoma Oluo
Feminism isn't simply about being a woman in a position of power. It's battling systemic inequities; it's a social justice movement that believes sexism, racism and classism exist and interconnect, and that they should be consistently challenged. ~ Jessica Valenti
Social Justice quotes by Jessica Valenti
...the capital city had grown in alarming fashion: cardboard walls, tin roofs, people in rags clearly visible along the road from the airport. Since this made a very bad impression on visitors, for a long time the solution was to put up walls to hide them. As one politician said, 'Where there is poverty, hide it. ~ Isabel Allende
Social Justice quotes by Isabel Allende
America: It's a free country; that is if you can afford it. ~ Rythmic Karma
Social Justice quotes by Rythmic Karma
What we can see in most societies is the gravity of suffering, tears of sorrow and nightmares of hopelessness. ~ Nilantha Ilangamuwa
Social Justice quotes by Nilantha Ilangamuwa
What is a movement, after all, but the embodiment of aspirations turned into organized action by thousands and millions of people? ~ Rivera Sun
Social Justice quotes by Rivera Sun
Give a man a teacher
and he'll learn many a thing.
Teach a man to learn
and he'll learn from everything. ~ Cameron Semmens
Social Justice quotes by Cameron Semmens
So, why the traffic stop when the officer admits that the driver did nothing wrong? To this impartial observer, those facts suggest Mr. Hayes was pulled over for driving while black and the shooting was the worst result of a bad stop. ~ Mark M. Bello
Social Justice quotes by Mark M. Bello
However, experience has taught us that action in the now is also necessary, always. Our children cannot dream unless they live, they cannot live unless they are nourished, and who else will feed them the real food without which their dreams will be no different from ours? 'If you want us to change the world someday, we at least have to live long enough to grow up!' shouts the child. ~ Audre Lorde
Social Justice quotes by Audre Lorde
Present injustices exist not so much because simple individuals are acting in bad faith or lacking in charity, but because huge, impersonal systems (that seem beyond the control of the individuals acting within them) disprivilege some even as they unduly privilege others. ~ Ronald Rolheiser
Social Justice quotes by Ronald Rolheiser
Authenticity is an act of social justice. ~ Kierra C.T. Banks
Social Justice quotes by Kierra C.T. Banks
A church that does not provoke any crisis, preach a gospel that does not unsettle, proclaim a word of God
that does not get under anyone's skin or a word of God that does not touch the real sin of the society in which
it is being proclaimed: what kind of gospel is that? ~ Oscar A. Romero
Social Justice quotes by Oscar A. Romero
Poverty is not a character failing or a lack of motivation. Poverty is a shortage of money. ~ Barbara Ehrenreich
Social Justice quotes by Barbara Ehrenreich
I seemed to see two camps before me, and there was something radically wrong with both of them. The people most passionate about social justice were moral relativists, while the morally upright didn't seem to care about the oppression going on all over the world. I was emotionally drawn to the former path - what young person wouldn't be? Liberate the oppressed and sleep with who you wanted! But I kept asking the question, If morality is relative, why isn't social justice as well? ~ Timothy Keller
Social Justice quotes by Timothy Keller
Marcus tries to stay calm for the sake of his family.
"I'm not asking. Step out of the damned car!" The officer is becoming unglued.
"I'm getting out, damn you, but, here, let me just show you my - "
"Don't reach. Stop!"
"I'm getting what you asked for, just going to show you my - "
"Put your hands where I can see them!" The officer snarls.
"Jesus H. Christ, officer. I'm not - "
Thunderous shots ring out, and Marcus slumps away from the dash, back toward the driver's seat. ~ Mark M. Bello
Social Justice quotes by Mark M. Bello
When I was older, I found Iqbal's work hugely inspirational. He argued against an unquestioning acceptance of Western democracy as the self-governing model, and instead suggested that by following the rules of Islam a society would tend naturally towards social justice, tolerance, peace and equality. Iqbal's interpretation of Islam differs very widely from the narrow meaning that is sometimes given to it. For Iqbal, Islam is not just the name for certain beliefs and forms of worship. The difference between a Muslim and a non-Muslim is not merely a theological one - it is a difference of a fundamental attitude towards life. ~ Imran Khan
Social Justice quotes by Imran Khan
The Margaret Thatcher syndrome, that is, the woman who achieves seniority, but refuses any gender identification and indeed whose policies harmed many women, highlights that gender sensitivity is more significant in leading change than the biological sex of post-holders. ~ Louise Morley
Social Justice quotes by Louise Morley
As citizens, we must prevent wrongdoing because the world in which we all live, wrong-doer, wrong sufferer and spectator, is at stake. ~ Hannah Arendt
Social Justice quotes by Hannah Arendt
As a woman, as a lesbian, as a Jew, much of what I call history, others will not. But answering that challenge of exclusion is the work of a lifetime. ~ Joan Nestle
Social Justice quotes by Joan Nestle
A church must be more deeply and practically committed to deeds of compassion and social justice than traditional liberal churches and more deeply and practically committed to evangelism and conversion than traditional fundamentalist churches. This kind of church is profoundly counter-intuitive to American observers. It breaks their ability to categorize (and dismiss) it as liberal or conservative. Only this kind of church has any chance in the non-Christian west. ~ Timothy Keller
Social Justice quotes by Timothy Keller
They wonder much to hear that gold which in itself is so useless a thing, should be everywhere so much esteemed, that even men for whom it was made, and by whom it has value, should yet be thought of less value than this metal. That a man of lead, who has no more sense than a log of wood, and is as bad as he is foolish, should have many wise and good men to serve him, only because he has a great heap of that metal ... ~ Thomas More
Social Justice quotes by Thomas More
The members of the functional and socially mobilized under class must, in some very real way, be seen as the architects of their own fate. If not, they could be, however marginally, on the conscience of the comfortable. There could be a disturbing feeling, however fleeting, of unease, even guilt. ~ John Kenneth Galbraith
Social Justice quotes by John Kenneth Galbraith
I am a social democrat - I believe in pursuing greater equality and tackling social justice - but ... you can't do that unless you have got a strong economy, unless you have got a vibrant business base earning the wealth that makes that possible. ~ Nicola Sturgeon
Social Justice quotes by Nicola Sturgeon
Justice cannot just be something that one part of society inflicts on the other. ~ Cathy O'Neil
Social Justice quotes by Cathy O'Neil
If someone thinks that they are invincible, they would start to become arrogant with others and greedy about power. Eventually, people who are more intelligent can defeat him or her and give them a taste about their weakness. ~ Saaif Alam
Social Justice quotes by Saaif Alam
After graduation, I wanted to work for 'Sassy', which I loved, but it had folded. So I wound up at 'Seventeen' for three years on staff and two as a contributor, and I wrote these great stories that nobody ever believes 'Seventeen' does. Serious stories for teens about social justice issues - gun control, migrant farm workers. ~ Gayle Forman
Social Justice quotes by Gayle Forman
Hatred, which could destroy so much, never failed to destroy the man who hated, and this was an immutable law. ~ James Baldwin
Social Justice quotes by James Baldwin
Growing is the result of learning. ~ Malcolm X
Social Justice quotes by Malcolm X
And as for social justice, if social is supposed to be opposed to individual, then social justice is by definition unjust. The ~ Ben Shapiro
Social Justice quotes by Ben Shapiro
No one can argue any longer about the rights of women. It's like arguing about earthquakes. ~ Lillian Hellman
Social Justice quotes by Lillian Hellman
I have a brain and a uterus, and I use both. ~ Patricia Schroeder
Social Justice quotes by Patricia Schroeder
Kindness is the excuse that social justice warriors use when they want to exercise control over what other people think and say. ~ Jordan B. Peterson
Social Justice quotes by Jordan B. Peterson
…the narratives we tell to justify a single set of laws and stakes are inherently unjust. ~ James Williams
Social Justice quotes by James        Williams
Leftists may claim that their activism is motivated by compassion or by moral principles, and moral principle does play a role for the leftist of the oversocialized type. But compassion and moral principle cannot be the main motives for leftist activism. Hostility is too prominent a component of leftist behavior; so is the drive for power. Moreover, much leftist behavior is not rationally calculated to be of benefit to the people whom the leftists claim to be trying to help. For example, if one believes that affirmative action is good for black people, does it make sense to demand affirmative action in hostile or dogmatic terms? Obviously it would be more productive to take a diplomatic and conciliatory approach that would make at least verbal and symbolic concessions to white people who think that affirmative action discriminates against them.
But leftist activists do not take such an approach because it would not satisfy their emotional needs. Helping black people is not their real goal. Instead, race problems serve as an excuse for them to express their own hostility and frustrated need for power. In doing so they actually harm black people, because the activists' hostile attitude toward the white majority tends to intensify race hatred. ~ Theodore J. Kaczynski
Social Justice quotes by Theodore J. Kaczynski
Culture is the widening of the mind and of the spirit. ~ Jawaharlal Nehru
Social Justice quotes by Jawaharlal Nehru
My definition of social justice: those who refuse to work deserve to go hungry. ~ Clayton Cramer
Social Justice quotes by Clayton Cramer
All classes of people under social pressure are permeated with a common experience; they are emotionally welded as others cannot be. With them, even ordinary living has epic depth and lyric intensity, and this, their material handicap, is their spiritual advantage. ~ Alain LeRoy Locke
Social Justice quotes by Alain LeRoy Locke
Life wants to live, but more than that, it wants to love. ~ Rivera Sun
Social Justice quotes by Rivera Sun
I'm really interested in social justice, and if an artist has a certain power of being heard and voicing something important, it's right to do it. It could still be done in such a way that it's not aggressive or overly didactic. I'm trying to find that form. ~ Shirin Neshat
Social Justice quotes by Shirin Neshat
The Negro's so-called 'revolt' is merely an asking to be accepted into the existing system! ~ Malcolm X
Social Justice quotes by Malcolm X
(P162) The great blessing of private property, then, is that people can benefit from their own industry and insulate themselves from the negative effects of others' actions. It is like a set of invisible mirrors that surround individuals, households or firms, reflecting back on them the consequences of their acts. The industrious will reap the benefits of their industry, the frugal the consequences of their frugality; the improvidant and the profligate likewise. They receive their due, which is to say they experience justice as a matter of routine. Private property institutionalises justice. This is its great virtue, perhaps dwarfing all others. We may say with the economists that private property "internalizes the externalities," or with the philosophers that it gives rise to "social justice. ~ Tom Bethell
Social Justice quotes by Tom Bethell
Mexico was most powerfully my father's smile and not, as you might otherwise imagine, not language, not pigment. ~ Richard Rodriguez
Social Justice quotes by Richard Rodriguez
Jesus tells us what the 'protocol' is, on which we will be judged. It is the one we read in chapter 25 of Matthew's Gospel: I was hungry, I was thirsty, I was in prison, I was sick, I was naked and you helped me, clothed me, visited me, took care of me. Whenever we do this to one of our brothers, we do this to Jesus. Caring for our neighbor; for those who are poor, who suffer in body and in soul, for those who are in need. This is the touchstone. ~ Pope Francis
Social Justice quotes by Pope Francis
Social justice is what drives me; it's why I'm here. ~ Kathleen Wynne
Social Justice quotes by Kathleen Wynne
The great waste comes from [the child's] inability to utilize the experience he gets outside of school in any complete and free way within the school itself while, on the other hand, he is unable to apply in daily life what he is learning at school. That is the isolation of the school - its isolation from life. ~ John Dewey
Social Justice quotes by John Dewey
You degrade us and then ask why we are degraded. You shut our mouths and ask why we don't speak. You close your colleges and seminaries against us and then ask why we don't know. ~ Frederick Douglass
Social Justice quotes by Frederick Douglass
Alienation as our present destiny is achieved only by outrageous violence perpetrated by human beings on human beings. ~ R.D. Laing
Social Justice quotes by R.D. Laing
We end up with the contradictory picture of a society that appears to throw its doors wide open to women, but translates her every step towards success as having been damaging. ~ Margaret Mead
Social Justice quotes by Margaret Mead
[Silvio] Gesell's chiefwork is written in cool and scientific terms, although it is run through by a more passionate and charged devotion to social justice than many think fit for a scholar. I believe that the future will learn more from the spirit of Gesell then from that of Marx. ~ John Maynard Keynes
Social Justice quotes by John Maynard Keynes
Should I grab something, start crying and screaming, punch you or one of your detectives? Would that get your attention? Maybe the media would come running! I punch you; you arrest me! The media would be all over that! 'Crazy black mother punches police captain! Details at eleven!' I'll do that if it'll help me find my daughter! How's that sound to you? ~ Mark M. Bello
Social Justice quotes by Mark M. Bello
We shall be judged more by what we do at home than what we preach abroad. ~ John F. Kennedy
Social Justice quotes by John F. Kennedy
This book argues that mass incarceration is, metaphorically, the New Jim Crow and that all those who care about social justice should fully commit themselves to dismantling this new racial caste system. ~ Michelle Alexander
Social Justice quotes by Michelle Alexander
The struggle to create a nation and world of economic and social justice and environmental sanity is not an easy one. The struggle to try and create a more peaceful world will be extremely difficult. But this I know: despair is not an option if we care about our kids and grandchildren. Giving up is not an option if we want to prevent irreparable harm to our planet. ~ Bernie Sanders
Social Justice quotes by Bernie Sanders
They focused a large amount of their wrath on people trying to add dialogue about feminism and diversity in gaming, condemning them as "Social Justice Warriors." (That label was always so weird to me, because how is that an insult? "Social Justice Warrior" actually sounds pretty badass.) ~ Felicia Day
Social Justice quotes by Felicia Day
Let us not forget, the financial crisis had its roots in the decision by Congress to embark on a course of social justice to get everyone that wanted a home into one, regardless of whether or not they could afford it. ~ Ed Royce
Social Justice quotes by Ed Royce
Civility does not ... mean the mere outward gentleness of speech cultivated for the occasion, but an inborn gentleness and desire to do the opponent good. ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Social Justice quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
Always seek to learn: The leader is always learning new things and gaining new insights. ~ Artika R. Tyner
Social Justice quotes by Artika R. Tyner
Communism forgets that life is individual. Capitalism forgets that life is social, and the kingdom of brotherhood is found neither in the thesis of communism nor the antithesis of capitalism but in a higher synthesis. It is found in a higher synthesis that combines the truths of both. ~ Martin Luther King, Jr.
Social Justice quotes by Martin Luther King, Jr.
I try to learn as much as I can because I know nothing compared to what I need to know. ~ Muhammad Ali
Social Justice quotes by Muhammad Ali
To use the image of Che Guevara to sell vodka is a slur on his name and memory. He never drank himself, he was not a drunk, and drink should not be associated with his immortal memory ... As a supporter of the ideals for which Che Guevara died, I am not averse to its reproduction by those who wish to propagate his memory and the cause of social justice throughout the world. ~ Alberto Korda
Social Justice quotes by Alberto Korda
Many social justice or social activist movements have been rooted in a position. A position is usually against something. Any position will call up its opposition. If I say up, it generates down. If I say right, it really creates left. If I say good, it creates bad. So a position creates its opposition. A stand is something quite distinct from that.

There are synonyms for "stand" such as "declaration" or "commitment," but let me talk for just a few moments about the power of a stand. A stand comes from the heart, from the soul. A stand is always life affirming. A stand is always trustworthy. A stand is natural to who you are. When we use the phrase "take a stand" I'm really inviting you to un-cover, or "unconceal," or recognize, or affirm, or claim the stand that you already are.

Stand-takers are the people who actually change the course of history and are the source of causing an idea's time to come. Mahatma Gandhi was a stand-taker. He took a stand so powerful that it mobilized millions of people in a way that the completely unpredictable outcome of the British walking out of India did happen. And India became an independent nation. The stand that he took… or the stand that Martin Luther King, Jr. took or the stand that Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony took for women's rights - those stands changed our lives today. The changes that have taken place in history as a result of the stand-takers are permanent changes, not temporary changes. The ~ Lynne Twist
Social Justice quotes by Lynne Twist
In place of the Old Bottom Line of money and power, a New Bottom Line of Love and Generosity is possible. People of all faiths need to shape a political and social movement that reaffirms the most generous, peace-oriented, social justice-committed, and loving truths of the spiritual heritage of the human race. ~ Michael Lerner
Social Justice quotes by Michael Lerner
It isn't those who are taken by force, put in chains, and sold as slaves who are the real slaves; it is those who will accept it, morally and physically. ~ Ousmane Sembene
Social Justice quotes by Ousmane Sembene
When blacks are unemployed, they are considered lazy and apathetic. When whites are unemployed, it's considered a depression. ~ Jesse Jackson
Social Justice quotes by Jesse Jackson
Every condition exists," Martin Luther King Jr. once wrote, "simply because someone profits by its existence. This economic exploitation is crystallized in the slum." Exploitation. Now, there's a word that has been scrubbed out of the poverty debate. ~ Matthew Desmond
Social Justice quotes by Matthew Desmond
We shall be free only together, black and white. We shall survive only together, black and white. We can be human only together, black and white. ~ Desmond Tutu
Social Justice quotes by Desmond Tutu
Tolerance and understanding won't 'trickle down' in our society any more than wealth does. ~ Muhammad Ali
Social Justice quotes by Muhammad Ali
People of color have to do this work as a mater of everyday survival. And so long as they have to, who am I to act as if I have a choice in the matter? Especially when my future and that of my children in large part depends on the eradication of racism? There is no choice. ~ Tim Wise
Social Justice quotes by Tim Wise
My vision for Scotland is one in which we fight together for the values we are care about: equality, fairness and social justice. Those values are the same whether you live in Dumfries or Carlisle. ~ Douglas Alexander
Social Justice quotes by Douglas Alexander
