In the midst of our current political climate, it's easy to see that no one cares about others anymore. If a candidate plans to harm others but not someone particularly, they'll vote him into office. If the health care bill will hurt and even kill others, but doesn't make a difference to someone personally, they'll vote it into law. And if Americans willing to risk their lives for our country are banned from the military but someone isn't specifically, they'll stay silent.

But it's not just about politics. This is about how we, as Americans, treat our fellow human beings. It's one thing to stand up for your beliefs, even if they're different than others', but it's an entirely different thing to pass policies and laws that are outright harmful, dangerous, discriminatory, and unpatriotic. If a policy you believe in will significantly harm others, even if that group does not include you and your loved ones, it's probably time to re-examine your support of that policy.

In the midst of the government vote on the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and Trump's latest ban on transgender people serving in the military, it's more obvious than ever that no one cares about others anymore.

But here's the catch: some of us still do.

And no small amount either. Hundreds of millions of people still believe in standing up for the rights of others, and do so every day. Hundreds of millions of people call their Congressmen, Senators, and even the White House to demand justice for all Americans. We will not stay silent. Even if we feel discouraged, we must speak out for what is right.
