Life hasn't stop though my writing here have slowed down. I have a lot to write but I am not sure if I can explain all that in one post...
For now, I am here to share an emotion. I am currently working on my social welfare paper. As part of my paper, I am doing a research on Mayor of LA and some other politicians' work on social issues and social justice. As I move further in my research, I notice they have worked towards a lot of issues related to people of Los Angeles. They have gone ahead towards justice and towards growth and have worked on gang reduction, housing, job market, education, health and what not...sadly most of them have not even uttered a word about homelessness or substance abuse related issues in LA...
And the more I find out about the lack of services, lack of awareness and barely available funding for these issues, the more furious I get. I don't know how to explain this emotion but its just annoying feeling when most of us know homelessness and substance addiction is a huge issues and there is a huge need of awareness and services related to this social issue. Sadly, people of Los Angeles, their lives and the value of their presence is keep getting weaker and weaker in the eyes of those who are working towards vote counts...
I can just do what is in my reach, and I can just pray for social action and social justice. Hope these prays will get answered one day, Amen!
