what do you stand for?

(1/4) > >>

forsythia12:
i was thinking about all the things people make a stand for, and i wanted to know what folks here at bettermost stood for.  (i.e. M.A.D.D., animal rights, minority equality, anti war, etc....)
have you protested anything?
what charities mean a lot to you, or what ones do you support financially?
what social injustices make you angry?
if you could change the world, what would you put a stop to?

where i live, there's a lot of strife between loggers and treehuggers (sorry for the slang).

drinking & driving, and bullying are two of many things i really get upset about, and wish i could put a stop to.

Artiste:
I stand for humanity!

Freedom!

Justice for all too!

And much more, like we all do!!
And LOVE!!

Hugs! (And for hugs too!!)

No, I have rarely protested anything, altho I have been teargassed a time or two. But once I was asked about what one word I would like to have incised on my gravestone and I said "Communicator" (which is what I do in my job and it's a big part of my personal life too, especially with my two children)

Brown Eyes:
Great thread forsythia! :)

This is a big question for sure!

The main social injustice issue that I feel the most passionately about (and most consistently throughout my life) is anything to do with women's rights.  Issues surrounding injustices and violence against women (both in the U.S. and internationally) literally can keep me awake at night.

Other things that I feel passionately about are GLBT rights, the environment and peace/anti-war issues. 

In the past I have gone to anti-war demonstrations.  Actually, when I was in high school a really large group of students staged an old-fashioned "walk out" to protest the first Gulf War, and I participated in that (it was probably the first demonstration I was involved in).  I've also participated in demonstrations having to do with the environment (again in high school I was really active in our environmental club... and I recall some minor/local protests that we were involved with).  And, I've actually participated in two pride parades during grad school when I lived in Philly.  And, I've been to one or two other rallies having to do with gay rights in college and grad school.
