We are people who are passionate about justice, equality and liberty. We come from all walks of life, yet stand as one in our belief that we were created to be a blessing to those less fortunate and in need.
The Justice Revolution! Wow! That's quite a mouthful. Justice - that's a big word to take on. Justice means 'just behaviour or treatment.' Not that complicated?! As an ideal, justice sometimes might seem lofty, but in practice, it is quite simple. We see justice as a verb rather than a noun, as something tangible and real that we experience on a daily basis.
As Indians, we experience injustice on a regular basis, maybe due to corruption in one of it's various avatars or simply cause of our religion or caste or social status. Yet the injustice we face, pales in comparison to the young child sold for Rs 300/- by his parents into bonded labour, or the teenager who has been picked up at the railway station to serve tables for a wage that would not get him one square meal a day or to the young lady who has been sold by her friends into the sex trade or the epileptic child who is left by his educated parents at a government home to rot in an environment which is anything but desirable. For all the troubles we face, there are those going through a lot more.
The challenge that faces us today is to take our eyes of our minor problems and look at the larger problems that face us as a community, city and nation. We may not be able to do everything, but we must do something.
We know that our impact at this point is limited. But there is an impact. That's what matters. You might be only one. But one is definitely better than zero. Rise up. Take a stand. Say yes. There are others counting on you.
Your help could make the difference between a child having a childhood or not, between a woman being trafficked or being set free, between a young person having an education or not.
Stand up and be counted. It's worth it.
