It means standing in solidarity with those who are most affected by systemic injustices, and working together to create a more just and equitable society for all. This work is ongoing and requires a long-term commitment to fighting against injustices wherever they exist. To be an effective advocate for social justice, we must be willing to listen to and learn from those who have been marginalized and oppressed. We must educate ourselves about the ways in which systems of power and privilege operate, and work to dismantle them in our own lives and communities. This work can be uncomfortable and challenging, but it is necessary in order to create a more just and equitable society for all.
