Social Justice Is...

The topic of our most recent retreat was social justice. An activity we did on the retreat was coming up with our own definitions of social justice. Here is what social justice means to me:

Social justice is...

...A recognition of the innate dignity in all people.
...non-descriminate.
...love in action.
...meeting the needs of all people.
...more than just charity, but dealing with the root of injustice.
...a change in the system so that rights do not depend on where you are born, how much money you have, or     the color of your skin, but based instead on your humanity.
...a shift in prorities, lifestyles, and concerns to favor those most in need.
...God´s kingdom on Earth.
...recognizing the offensiveness that is poverty and fighting for a world in which that doesn´t exist...however
    idealistic that may be.
