Do not remain silent...

This poem should speak to all of us and give us courage to speak up against injustice.

"First they came for the Jews.

I was silent. I was not a Jew.

Then they came for the socialist.

I was silent. I was not a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists

I was silent. I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for me.

There was no one left to speak for me."

-Martin Niemoller, Pastor, German Confessing Church
