the spirit within

The transnational migrant, the citizen as activist, the global educator. These are but a few ways of categorizing those in the West who work for social justice. But these labels do little to describe the work being done. Pushed from the centre, they seek out spaces where...They are truth tellers, shouting out against the dominant ideology, demanding that society take heed of its complicity. Sometimes the challenges come in mass demonstrations, other times as small public displays of dissent. But it is the small, daily acts of resistance, the relationships built, the humanity and compassion created across borders. This is where the shift begins. This is where true change can happen.
