In Defense of Kindness: Why It Matters, How It Changes Our Lives, and How It Can Save the World Quotes

“Without the voices from the edges publicly demanding, wailing, and protesting, institutions and systems that engage in exclusionary, oppressive, or marginalizing practices continue to operate with apathy or impunity.
