"The opposite of poverty is not wealth, the opposite of poverty is justice."
If you care about justice and the poor, this video (see below) is worth watching. I would also recommend reading the book "Gang Leader for a Day." It's an easy read, but very compelling.
On a similar but separate note, I received an email from "United to End Genocide." Did you know the U.S. government has signed a contract for nearly $1 billion in business with Rosoboronexport - the Russian arms dealer that supplies the Syrian government with weapons capable of targeting innocent Syrian civilians? I had no idea! I was so appalled. If you feel so compelled you can sign a petition to Secretary of Defense Panetta and demand they stop doing business with Rosoboronexport and stand up for the Syrians. It's the least we can do! Here's a link to the petition - http://bit.ly/AAUKmD
