Be A Rebel With A Cause
By Giulietta, Friday, March 14, 2008, 2 commentsYou do not need a lot of money or a fancy job title to make a difference in this world. All you need is the desire to stand up and fight for the little guy and gal, to care more about guts than glory, to know in your heart what you are doing will make the planet a better place.
Erin Brockovich did it. Norma Rae did it. Karen Silkwood did it. Women in impoverished areas of the world do it every day.
And you can do it too.
It will be tough. It will be exhausting. It will keep you up at night.
But it will make you believe in yourself in ways you never thought possible.
I know because I’ve done it.
Some former power-brokers in my town decided to demolish our 1855 Town Hall. They claimed it wasn’t sound. They argued it wasn’t historic. They cried it wasn’t National Register of Historic Places-worthy.
Then a small group of us banded together and did the unthinkable:
We disobeyed.
We challenged.
We triumphed.
The renovated Town Hall not only lives, it’s on the National Register of Historic Places.
Now I’ve got a new cause to keep me up at night.
A different small group of us have banded together to fight the fluoridation of our town’s water supply. A public health myth so ingrained in the collective American psyche, that I, too, believed it all these years. A myth I saw start to dissolve after googling the word fluoride for my mother.
Three years of fluoride research later, I can reach only one logical conclusion: It doesn’t belong in anybody’s water.
But don’t take my word on fluoride or anything else. Do your own research. Ask your own questions. Reach your own conclusion. Take your own action.
And if you ever doubt you have the strength to “Be A Rebel With A Cause,” hold close these words by Marianne Williamson, “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.”
