Fighting Injustice With Art and FaithSample

For the last few days of this 30-day devotion, we've looked at the impact of the Clapham Group and how they changed the world through creative innovations to stir people to act in justice on behalf of brothers and sisters who were enslaved.

What does all that focus and attention on these historical figures and how they operated mean for us today?

If you want to reach people with your message, if you have a just and noble cause, there's a few things we need to take to heart:

• Be willing to use the tools and technologies around us.
• View the people on the end of those channels, whatever the channel may be, as people with hearts and souls that can and ought to be influenced for good.
• Find community and like-minded people to create and ideate with.
• Have a dream and a goal worth giving our life and time to, then give those things to it.

As creators, communicators and advocates for justice, we have an incredible inheritance. We stand on shoulders of so many giants, the Clapham group just a few of those inspiring figures who serve as models for us today.

The technology at hand and in our pockets gives us incredible reach. May we use it in innovative and purposeful ways!

Action Point:

Take a few moments to think of the ways that you can use the tools and technology available to you right now to influence others for good. In what ways are you using them for good. In what ways do you need to make a purposeful shift?
