Welcome to a spectacular date with purpose and determination, Social Justice Sunday, which falls on August 25! This is a day to celebrate equality and fairness, and it has a lovely history that winds through the course of human activism. The event was first recognized by the Catholic Church in Australia in 1940 and the idea has since caught on globally because, well, who doesn't love standing up for what's right? There's something innately powerful and positive about joining voices with others in spreading love and fairness. This Social Justice Sunday, let's kindle the flame of justice and work together to create a world where everyone is treated equally. Let's stand up, let's speak up, and let's ignite change!
