ometimes I forget that not everyone in Amer- ica goes to an expensive university and sleeps in nice warm beds every night. So it’s always San eye opener when the cardboard community goes up and I am reminded that some people are forced to sleep in cardboard boxes on nicely mani- cured lawns of expensive universities. Tim I like to think of myself as a person who has McDermott a pretty high concern for issues of social justice. Columnist So the idea of Social Justice Week appeals to my interest in being an active participant in righting social injustices. But my interest quickly fades, because Social Justice Week is not about actually righting social injustice but rather raising awareness. I recently met with a member of the Social Justice Cabinet. She told me that they don’t want to simply go out and do service projects for Social Justice Week because it represents a one-time commitment, and they are trying to generate interest that will result in a continual commitment to serving the disadvantaged. While I do respect this sentiment, I can’t say that I agree with it. Even if it is a one-time commitment, this week is in the name of social justice, and doing a little good is better than doing nothing at all. Plus, serving just once in a homeless shelter is more likely to compel one to service than a week of speakers. had brand new blue tarps over them to keep out the rain — the In order to keep this article from being completely useless, I If we are not actually helping anyone during Social Justice kind of thing few homeless people could afford. would like to make a suggestion: Let’s do something about social Week, we are not living up to our Biblical commitment to the poor. It is literally impossible for us to simulate an impoverished injustice. Lets act. Let’s go visit a homeless shelter or minister The Bible talks more about helping the poor and needy than any lifestyle because poverty is so much more than simply not having to people on the street or raise money in any way we can. It is other topic, and its commands do not involve learning or raising money or a place to live. not enough to just talk. Nothing will ever change by living on awareness but rather physically serving, both by giving money Poverty is a mindset. Poverty is waking up hungry under a Reade lawn for a week and listening to some speakers. and time. bridge and knowing that neither food nor warmth are a guarantee, I walked through the cardboard community Monday night at that there’s no dorm or dining commons just in case.
