The Brave Manifesto

The "Brave Maifesto"

WE BELIEVE
that cowardice is to blame for the world’s injustices.

WE BELIEVE
that peace is hard-won, that sometimes it is necessary to fight for peace. But more than that:

WE BELIEVE
that justice is more important than peace.

WE BELIEVE
in freedom from fear, in denying fear the power to influence our decisions.

WE BELIEVE
in ordinary acts of bravery, in the courage that drives one person to stand up for another.

WE BELIEVE
in acknowledging fear and the extent to which it rules us.

WE BELIEVE
in facing that fear no matter what the cost to our comfort, our happiness, or even our sanity.

WE BELIEVE
in shouting for those who can only whisper, in defending those who cannot defend themselves.

WE BELIEVE,
not just in bold words but in bold deeds to match them.
