Supporting

Benazir Bhutto Quote: “Military hardliners called me a ‘security…”

Military hardliners called me a ‘security threat’ for promoting peace in South Asia and for supporting a broad-based government in Afghanistan.

August 21, 2021 1953, Benazir Bhutto, June 21, Pakistani, Quotes by Leaders

Jesse Jackson Quote: “We blacks were the first people…”

We blacks were the first people embracing Obama, long before the people at expensive fundraisers were supporting him. We gave him his first love, 96 percent of blacks voted for him in 2008. Yet today we are the number one in unemployment, with 16 percent of American blacks out of work.

August 20, 2021 1941, American, Jesse Jackson, October 8, Quotes by Activists

Gloria Steinem Quote: “The deepest change begins with men…”

The deepest change begins with men raising children as much as women do and women being equal actors in the world outside the home. There are many ways of supporting that, from something as simple as paid sick leave and flexible work hours to attributing an economic value to all caregiving and making that amount tax deductible.

August 4, 2021 1934, American, Gloria Steinem, March 25, Quotes by Activists

Peter Singer Quote: “There is no excuse for keeping…”

There is no excuse for keeping wild animals in amusement parks or circuses. Until our governments take action, we should avoid supporting places where captive wild animals perform for our amusement. If the public will not pay to see them, the businesses that profit from keeping animals captive will not be able to continue.

July 28, 2021 1946, Australian, July 6, Peter Singer, Quotes by Philosophers

Ingrid Newkirk Quote: “Consumers of meat, eggs and dairy…”

Consumers of meat, eggs and dairy products might well ask what they are supporting. Do farmers care about anyone but themselves? Can’t anyone see the cow for the cheese?

May 22, 2021 1949, British, Ingrid Newkirk, June 11, Quotes by Activists

Jonathan Zittrain Quote: “The ability to make new work…”

The ability to make new work from old work – especially if that new work is different enough that it doesn’t dent the market for the old work – is something that benefits all creators, since so few can claim not to have a giant or 10 supporting them underneath.

May 22, 2021 1969, American, December 24, Jonathan Zittrain, Quotes by Educators

John Prendergast Quote: “I spent a lot of time…”

I spent a lot of time with President Mandela supporting his efforts in the peace process in Burundi. The thing that impressed me the most was his humility.

April 19, 2021 1963, American, John Prendergast, March 21, Quotes by Activists

Noam Chomsky Quote: “Reparations – not just aid – …”

Reparations – not just aid – should be provided by those responsible for devastating Iraqi civilian society by cruel sanctions and military actions, and – together with other criminal states – for supporting Saddam Hussein through his worst atrocities and beyond. That is the minimum that honesty requires.

May 12, 2020 1928, American, December 7, Noam Chomsky, Quotes by Activists

Malala Yousafzai Quote: “I thanked President Obama for the…”

I thanked President Obama for the United States’ work in supporting education in Pakistan and Afghanistan and for Syrian refugees.

October 2, 2019 1997, July 12, Malala Yousafzai, Pakistani, Quotes by Activists

Malala Yousafzai Quote: “I have already seen death, and…”

I have already seen death, and I know that death is supporting me in my cause of education. Death does not want to kill me.

October 1, 2019 1997, July 12, Malala Yousafzai, Pakistani, Quotes by Activists
