None of the candidates are ever perfect, ok? Then you have to get them in there and you have to hold them accountable. You have to make noises.
Marian Wright EdelmanNever work just for money or for power. They won't save your soul or help you sleep at night.
Marian Wright EdelmanIt is so important not to let ourselves off the hook or to become apathetic or cynical by telling ourselves that nothing works or makes a difference. Every day, light your small candle.... The inaction and actions of many human beings over a long time contributed to the crises our children face, and it is the action and struggle of many human beings over time that will solve them-with God's help. So every day, light your small candle.
