This social justice page is a place where I like to provide links and resources to progressive information. The views on these pages do not necessarily represent my views, but many of them present a view of the world that is similiar to my own. I consider social justice to be central to my view of faith. Relgiously, as a christian, I feel that Jesus was one of the best representatives of someone who was concerned with social justice. The best way to live out social justice, I feel, is to care for others. In order to care for others, you must be educated. Ignorance may mean bliss, but it certainly doesn't help to increase tolerance and understanding for our diverse world community.
