Social Justice Action Plan

Martin Luther King Jr. wrote, on the topic of social justice, “We will have to repent in the generation not merely for the vitriolic words and actions of the bad people, but for the appalling silence of the good people.” Though Dr. King wrote those words in the 1960s, they still ring true today. For this paper, (1) identify a social issue you are concerned with, (2) specify what role/action you as an individual could or should take to impact this issue. (3) project what will happen if you take said action, and (4) project what will happen if you do not take this action. Keep in mind this essay should not be an essay on the social issue, but rather your action or inaction in regard to that social issue.
