social justice | The Tony Burgess Blog

I felt I needed to outwardly express my support for various social justice causes. The friendship bracelet is one way many have found to do just that. I got mine in the mail today from an African-American woman maker who owns her own business. Thank you, Kwonnie Robinson, for your good work. Check out her website, KEM Jewelry to order your own.

I chose the word Hope on my blue friendship bracelet because hope can be a dangerous word for those who oppress and advance hate. Everyone has to have hope because it’s good and keeps us going. The brown beaded one is a reminder to tend the soil of the fields of the world we live in.

This blog has a heavy social justice element to it. As a person who feels deeply and cares about what’s going on around the world I want to post about it show support and awareness. Be warned I come from a center-left perspective and if what I post is too much then you have my blessing to unfollow. No hard feelings. Right now the world is in need of advocates for people who want to have rights and resources to make their lives better and I am answering that call. Some posts will have comments turned off because I don’t want any conflict between people. Thanks for your understanding and interest in what I have to say.
