“If a law is unjust, a man is not only right to disobey it, he is obligated to do so.” ~ Thomas Jefferson

Civil disobedience takes many forms … The farmer who owns this pasture was told that he was not allowed to build a shed for his horses — so he built a table and two chairs.

Similarly, there are government ordinances in many U.S. cities that make it illegal to feed the homeless, and there are social “laws” everywhere in the world that make it “illegal” to even look them in the eye — that make it “illegal” to even speak with them — that make it “illegal” to reach out and Care.

Such “laws” are just as unjust as the one our brave farmer Peace-fully opposed.

Such laws are also begging to be broken.

It is truly time for a rEVOLution; it is time to stand up to the social norms of judgment, selfishness & callousness that keep us separate from the poor & the downtrodden in our midst.

So how will you protest today?
