Speaking out

First they came for the communists,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists,
and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews,
... and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a Jew.
Then they came for me
and there was no one left to speak out for me.
- Pastor Martin Niemöller (1892–1984)

 

We want our Esperanza scholars to learn how to be actively involved in the community and to speak out.  That's why service learning/social action is part of Esperanza's foundation.
