Displays of patriotism without the requisite actions are incomplete in my estimation.
Thoughts
WOKE is good, not evil
Being woke does not promote hate as some contend. Quite the contrary. It seeks understanding and inclusion, acknowledging history and working to learn from it for a better future.
Aphorisms to live by
Aphorisms tend to ring true, provoking reflection and hopefully inspiring beneficial actions.
Poverty and children – II. Action
For the sake of our children and their families, we cannot let the toxin of poverty continue to be a pervasive stain on our society and our democracy.
Poverty and children – I
What does poverty do to harm children? The simple answer is “a lot.”
Voices for children
There are countless other quotes that I could use to emphasize my point that action, not inaction, is necessary during times when children and families are pushed to the side and not truly valued. I use these quotes to remind me (and hopefully stir my readers) about our constant requirement to do all that we can and not be deterred.
