“Social justice without relationships will be fruitless.
“Issues” don’t ask you the hard questions when you think about giving up – they don’t ask you through tears to borrow your social security number or tell you that they can’t read at age 11. “Issues” don’t hold your hand when disappointment strikes, when the unspeakable happens, or when you are wounded along the way. “Issues” don’t bake the cake when celebration is in order or tell their stories with passion and inspiration that remind you why this endeavor was so important in the first place.

Here is a great blog post from one of my fellow CCDA Emerging Leaders, Sarah. She’s tapping into some really wise observations as it relates to localized, social justice issues.
