Often injustice lies in what you are NOT doing, not only in what you are doing. Not doing evil isn’t enough; you must also be a force for good in the world. All that evil needs is good people to do nothing.
Those who are unaffected should be outraged as those who are affected. So, take a stand and speak up when you see injustice and share it with people you know. Go to rallies to protest, volunteer, and contribute to group efforts.
Learn about possible actions or alternatives to correct the injustice and remember that united we stand, divided we fall.
