Yesterday, we asked our supporters to tell us their favorite social justice quote. I was moved by the responses we received; there were some classics and some completely new. All together, we should have enough material to keep us inspired for a long time! Here are a few of your favorites:

“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” – Martin Luther King, Jr.

“Rats and roaches live by competition under the laws of supply and demand; it is the privilege of human beings to live under the laws of justice and mercy.” – Wendell Berry

“Be the change you wish to see in the world.” – Gandhi

“Greatness is telling the truth & being courageous in pursuit of justice. The worst thing you could tell young people is to be successful but become well-adjusted to an unjust status quo as opposed to being great & being maladjusted to an unjust status quo.” – Cornel West

“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.” – Margaret Mead

“Not all citizens can be equally strong; but they can all be equally free.” – Voltaire
