Never be afraid to raise your voice for honesty and truth and compassion against injustice and lying and greed. If people all over the world...would do this, it would change the earth.

Hundreds of thousands of concerned citizens have taken to the streets over recent weeks with sights set on, as William Faulkner wrote, changing the earth.

They marched in Washington, D.C., New York, Philadelphia and Los Angeles and plenty of places in between, including townslike Selinsgrove and Lewisburg. Groups traveledby the busload, trainload and carload, both for the inauguration and the Womens March, and on Friday for the annual March for Life in the nations capital. The overwhelming majority were marked by peaceful protests, a wonderful personification of the First Amendment.

Locals of every race, gender, sexual identity and religious belief either went in droves to Washington or gathered in Selinsgrove or Lewisburg. In Union County, those gathered read the Constitution aloud in public, an uncomplicated but quite effective way to get an important message across.

The U.S. Constitution is something we can all agree on, said Rabbi Nina Mandel, of Congregation Beth-El. It is here to protect our lives regardless of our political, religious or sexual affiliation. We didnt want to hold a rally that would further divide our country or our counties.

Fridays March for Life on Washington did not draw the crowds nor national media coverage as last weeks Womens March on Washington, but it was just as important. Thats why The Daily Item made its coverage prominent.

To me, the senseless destruction of human life is one of the biggest issues the nation is facing today, said Mike Seno, who drove the St. Pius X bus to D.C. for the March for Life Its the only issue I vote on. Its a major fight in my life.

Passionate people on any side of any argument havebeliefs they want to be heard.

Most important, these are people exercising a protected right for what they believe is just. Hard to find something more American than that.

Congratulations on these non-violent protests. It is a foundational right in America, exhibited perfectly over the past 10 days.
