Justice is colorful. Justice is a powerful, organic mass of people working towards the greater good with bravery and resolution. It’s a wheel of laws and brilliant ideas that only turns with the help of individuals committed to rightness. Justice is countless men and women making painfully hard decisions and continually going to bat for those in need of impartial defense and aid. Justice is a fair trial and liberation and followthrough and freedom. The system is flawed and dark at times and needs continual fortification, but the work being done to improve it is unceasing. Justice is perseverance and unyielding resolution.

It’s a complex, living, breathing organism, continually moving and revolving for the sake of truth. The opposite of stagnant, it dips into the loopholes and darkness of humanity at times, but it rebuilds and presses on, because of the steadfast individuals committed to equity. Here, the architectural foundation of law meets the organic discernment and fairness of those who faithfully uphold it. Here, the structured skeleton of impartial policy meets the natural human instinct for connection and hope. 

Justice is the rotating cycle of goodness propelled by freedom, fairness, and light.

There is such hope to be found and there is room for everyone. Justice for all.
