Social Movements for a Just Society

A democracy cannot thrive where power remains unchecked and justice is reserved for a select few. Ignoring these cries and failing to respond to this movement is simply not an option — for peace cannot exist where justice is not served.”

― John Lewis, on the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act
