అన్యాయం ఎవ‌రికి జ‌రిగినా! అది అంద‌రికి ముప్పే! ECONOMIC INJUSTICE, POVERTY, AND UNEMPLOYMENT: WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE! We, the member congregations of the Valmiki Boya Community Organization's Association & Joint Action Committee, hereby rededicate ourselves to the pursuit of economic justice, Racism, an end to vetti and an end to poverty and get our ST status back. So, Together, we can make a difference... Economic injustice persists in spite of the longest period of economic prosperity in our history. The gap between the rich and the poor continues to widen. Tens of millions, particularly children, women, and the elderly live in poverty, a disproportionate share of whom are ethnic and racial minorities. Working for a just society is central to our Valmiki Joint Action Committee. An economically just society is one in which 1) government and private institutions promote the common economic good and are held accountable; 2) all people have equal opportunity to care for themselves and their families; and 3) individuals take responsibility for the effects of their actions on their own and others' lives. Conversely, racism encourages people to perpetuate a system of privileges and economic rewards that opens the door of opportunity much wider for some than for others. This should not be tolerated. And Never forget what our main motto to get scheduled Tribes Status. Fight for it until to get. Our history teaches that social change does not come easily and is not without risk. Nevertheless, at the beginning of this new century, let us recommit to justice, equity, and compassion in human relations. Let us embrace our responsibility to help create a more just world. Let us continue to reflect and organize for action within our congregations and beyond our doors. Let us not concede that economic injustice, poverty, and racism are tolerable. - Venkateswarlu Boya (Journalist)
