10 Inspiring Quotes From Mashable’s Social Good Summit
A few of my favorites:
“More is spent in a single month [in the U.S.] fighting the war on drugs
than all monies ever expended domestically or internationally fighting
slavery from its inception. Per month, we spend more on the drug war
than we ever have trying to free slaves.”
— Mira Sorvino, actress and
U.N. goodwill ambassador
“We have to not just open our eyes to what’s going on in other places;
we need to open our eyes to what’s going on right in front of us.”
—Forest Whitaker, artist and UNESCO goodwill ambassador
“You always hear the phrase ‘advocacy starts at home.’ In reality, with
all the power we have to connect, it really means at home — where you’re
sitting. It’s about doing what you can from where you are. We’re
fortunate to have these tools to let you distill your message to make
sure you’re getting out what you want to say and create a call to
action.”
— Claire Diaz-Ortiz, lead social innovator at Twitter
"We are living at a moment when anyone can be a diplomat. All you have
to do is hit SEND." — U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton
