There are so many examples of “taking the sides of the weak against the strong” in today’s world it’s hard to count them all.  And, as 19th Century abolitionist Harriet Beecher Stowe put it, “the best people” have always been heavily involved in ensuring things like:

• Undocumented workers are treated fairly and humanely,

• Americans continue to enjoy the freedoms under the democracy that was promised to them in the Constitution,

• Minorities in terms race, religion, and sexual orientation have equal footing with straight white males,

• All children have access to quality education, and

• Workers have the right to organize.

Standing up for the common person is something that has meant something to people of decency since the dawn of humankind.  Perhaps it’s worth preserving in these difficult times.
