Shine Bright @ Lit for Liberty

Liberty allows people within a society to be free to express thoughts, beliefs, and act openly without fear of oppression by the rich and powerful. Liberty ensures every voice is heard as there is freedom to speak openly, which helps to preserve individual rights so the society as a whole can flourish. Justice is to be treated in a manner that is fair, preserves dignity, recognizes the value or worth of every human being, protects and respects people’s rights. There is a delicate balance between these fundamental values, as democracy is fragile if it is not protected. There are times throughout history that people rights are trampled on, and people feel that there is no justice. In uplifting our voices, there is a small amount of justice served when we speak up and connect in community with one another.
