66 - Protest

Full transcript here 👋 Hey, good morning, good afternoon, good evening. This is your life. This is your chance. Listen. The word for today is protest. That word feels scary to me, maybe just because I haven’t done it. My wife is way more brave in this area and has attended rallies for social justice in our area and neighboring cities. It’s strange that unrest is often necessary to bring about a greater peace and understanding. I guess the opposite would be lying down and letting the powers decide your rights. Today’s concrete challenge is to protest. This can be for yourself or for marginalized groups that often go unconsidered. Several websites make this fairly easy. Go to Change.org to find causes you care about, or contact your local representatives by searching house.gov, commoncause.org, or openstates.org. If you want to commit, say the following phrase: “I will stand up for myself and others right now.” I’ll keep the music playing while you get it done, and don’t miss the soundtrack at the end of this episode. Before you go, repeat the following soundtrack, “I am the kind of person who speaks out against injustice.” Let me know if this made a difference in your day by leaving a comment in your podcast app or at concrete.win/today. Check back tomorrow for a new challenge. Until then.
