Day of Blogging Justice: I Am a Community Organizer
God truly works in mysterious ways.
Just last week, I had unabashedly wrote a post exhibiting my perturbation regarding the smugness of the recent GOP speeches from our hard-working community organizers. While our good friend Yobachi rightfully corrected my definition of the phrase, the post was not to simplify the hard work that involves real community organizing events, but more a recognition of such things.
In church, our pastor talked about a very important verse that seemed to resolve the emotions I was feeling at the time:
Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for he who loves his fellowman has fulfilled the law. - Romans 13:8
The spirit and essence of that love for mankind is truly what volunteering and organizing a community to volunteer is all about.
While we try hard here at YBP Guide to keep you abreast of a lot of different topics, I’ve always felt that our little community has been able to do big things in the world, most times individually, but never unnoticed.
It is in that accord that I trumpet the members of the Afrospear and Afrosphere for taking my little post and rallying other blogs to pursue a day of blogging justice and awareness for all of the hard-working community organizers out there. Blogs like Electronic Village, a Slant Truth, Sojourner’s Place, Field Negro, African American Political Pundit, and Dallas South Blog (full list over at EV) have decided to display our little widget proudly.
To that notion, I salute them….and perhaps this little piece of symbolism and solidarity will make a larger impact in the campaign.
