The action I chose for my social injustice was a poster. It portrayed the statistics of the people that have been convicted, killed, and that are currently on trial. I chose this action because during my research, I didn’t realize how many people are actually affected by this social injustice until actually seeing the numbers. It is striking, that this many people are struggling because of America’s social injustice in capital punishment. Thousands of people, some innocent, are left literally waiting to die on death row. I believe that my poster will make people think about the injustices in our world and act to help get rid of them.
My goal with this action was to notify people of an injustice. With the images and the statistics displayed I feel that I was successful in doing so. People that view my poster will be surprised that so many are affected daily by this injustice. Hopefully those who understand the injustice will work towards abolishing it, or at least dampening its negative effects. If everyone is informed of injustices in our society, we can better work against them as a community.
In my future I see myself taking action on social injustices. This project was the catalyst to my thinking about my prophetic role. Before this project I knew very little about social injustices and how people work with them. I know understand that it is easy, and rewarding to help against these issues. It is simple to get involved, and gives a feeling like no other.
