Verse of the day

Woe to those who make unjust laws, to those who issue oppressive decrees, to deprive the poor of their rights and withhold justice from the oppressed of my people, making widows their prey and robbing the fatherless.
Isaiah 10:1-2 (NIV)

Voice of the day

Always remember that the people are not fighting for ideas, nor for what is in men’s minds. The people fight and accept the sacrifices demanded by the struggle in order to gain material advantages, to live better and in peace, to benefit from progress, and for the better future of their children. National liberation, the struggle against colonialism, the construction of peace, progress and independence are hollow words devoid of any significance unless they can be translated into a real improvement of living conditions.

Amílcar Cabral

Prayer of the day

God of justice, be with those whose bodies are on the frontlines, and whose spirits are engaged in righteous anger for the mistreatment of your people. Wherever we are, show us where we can enter into the movement. Let our hearts beat for justice, today and always.
