STAND UP FOR WHAT'S RIGHT! Never Let Injustice Go Unchallenged--
Do It with Kindness
As a society, we're dying. It's not a natural death. We are killing ourselves, socially and culturally. We are bleeding because of our own misguided mindsets. If we don't change course, we will doom ourselves into oblivion.
Dennis DeRoche explores in this book both his unjust personal brushes with the law and the bigger-picture crimes he sees: among others, the ignorant division terms like racist and racism that perpetuate segregation and the government-sanctioned violations against the Amazon rainforest and its indigenous peoples that have so very wrongly contributed to the genocide and ethnocide of many tribal cultures.
STAND UP FOR WHAT'S RIGHT! urges just that: that we each take action to give the next generation a reason to believe that things can be different. Using his background in design, DeRoche emphasizes key phrases with different colors, making this as much an easy-to-follow guide for social activism as it is a philosophical memoir of mental illness, music, and motorcycles.
With the loving kindness and compassion detailed here, we can free ourselves from what Marcus Garvey called "mental slavery" and embody that which we always have been: not physical beings needing a religious experience but spiritual beings
