Justice For All - I love this term because it's a big enough umbrella for all of us. It brings together people of many different faith traditions, human rights and environmental activists, labor organizers, young people who want to make the world a better place, and on and on. When I speak of working for Justice For All, I begin with the teachings of Jesus, and his commitment to basic fairness and a life of dignity for the poorest of the poor. In our world today, that means we walk with the majority of the world's population that works hard every day with no expectation that life will ever get better.

It means we cannot rest until everyone, everywhere, is paid a wage with which he or she can provide for the basic needs of his or her family. It means that those of us who have privilege must be willing to give up those things that cannot be sustained in a fair world - especially those things that use an unfair percentage of the world's environmental resources.

Justice For All isn't something we expect to attain in our lifetimes. Fortunately, nothing could be more fulfilling than working to make it happen.
