“Social justice is a felt truth. How do you treat others even in your family? Even in a group setting? How do you live out justice? How do you live out love? How do you live out building these strong relationships with each other, rooted in love? And how do you put that into practice? I think it really starts with us. Justice starts with how we treat others on a day to day basis.”
