Vive la Révolution

Looking back throughout the ages, our world has seen many revolutions. Everyday people like you and I rising up for what they believe is right, standing together to make a difference, changing history.

The French Revolution, the American Revolution, The Russian Revolution and the Cuban Revolution just to name a few. Why do people revolt? What causes people to get to a point where they feel the need to act in such a dramatic way.

Uniting and taking on the seemingly impossible. Hoping. Giving up everything for a cause much greater than themselves. Believing that their actions can impact and change the world, not just for themselves but for the benefit of others and generations to come.

As for today, we can feel something rising up within us. We live our lives as we are told, centered around ourselves and always looking out for ME. Fighting the battle to get rich, get famous, get happiness, yet deep down, below the surface we all feel it, ‘something is not quite right’. All we have to do is look at the world around us. Thousands die daily of hunger. Children forced to fight wars and do the unthinkable.

At this time in history, more people are in slavery around the world than ever before.

Hunger. Pain. Suffering. Death. This is everyday reality for millions of people.
Shall we keep watching it happen around us and go about our daily routines as if it doesn’t exist?

If there was ever a time to rise up and do something, the time is now.
