World Social Justice Day

World Social Justice Day gives us a moment to reaffirm our convictions and to face, with clarity, the lessons of the past year.

A year in which counter-powers were weakened.
In which unions were vilified.
In which legitimate demands were caricatured, as though asking for respect had somehow become excessive.
In which certain voices would have been considered more “acceptable” had they remained quiet, discreet, almost compliant.

But instead of making us doubt, it reminded us why we rise each morning. Why we take a stand and defend what, too often, seems self-evident until the day it disappears.

Social justice is a responsibility. A responsibility to our members, to the rules we have collectively established, and to the dignity of the workers who hold up our schools, our buildings, our businesses, our industries, and our services every single day.

Even when it makes people uncomfortable.

History is clear on this point. Rights don’t always vanish with a crash. They erode. Slowly. Through small concessions accepted for lack of energy, lack of unity, lack of collective courage.

But when we act together, something shifts.

A single voice can be ignored, but voices brought together become impossible to dismiss. Collective weight becomes a true counterweight, an essential balance in any democracy that seeks to remain vibrant and healthy.

Our role is not to be unanimously appreciated.

Our role is to defend, to protect, and to raise standards, even when it requires persistence.

Because every time we demand a fair process, we protect everyone.
Every time we insist that rules must be respected, we limit arbitrariness.
Every time we stand together, we affirm that rights are not temporary privileges, but collective gains.

Today, we reaffirm our commitment. Because a just society is not built in polite silence, it is built through collective courage. Through deliberate solidarity and the deep conviction that “we” remains stronger than “I.”

And that is not a matter of ideology.
It is a matter of democracy’s very foundation.

Thank you to everyone who brings the “we” to life every day.

Today more than ever: solidarity.
