"Defend the poor and fatherless; do justice to the afflicted and needy." (Psalm 82:3)

A survivor of the holocaust said, "In Germany they came first for the communists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a communist. Then they came for the Jews and I didn't speak up, because I wasn't a Jew. Then they came for the trade unionists and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist. Then they came for me and by that time no one was left to speak up for me."

"Learn to do good; seek justice, rebuke the oppressor; defend the fatherless, plead for the widow." (Isa. 1:17)
