Will you speak out?

First they came for the socialists, and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak out because I wasn't a Jew.

Then they came for me, and there was no one left to speak for me.

~ Martin Niemöller

This quote (including variations) always sends chills down my spine. It inspires me to speak my truth and stand up for others, even when the consequences and cost is unknown.

If not me... then who?
