Today we're honoring Archbishop Óscar Romero of San Salvador. He used his voice for the poor and against the violence of El Salvador's civil war, even when it endangered him. He was shot and killed while celebrating Mass on March 24, 1980. In 2018, the Catholic Church declared him a saint. We remember people like him because courage like that still shows us what's possible. More: https://substack.com/@nefeshlozen #NefeshMinLozen #OscarRomero #FaithAndJustice #HumanRights

Today we remember Wangari Maathai (1940–2011), founder of Kenya's Green Belt Movement (1977) — organizing women to plant trees and fight deforestation. It spread across Africa, credited with tens of millions of trees planted.
In 2004 she became the first African woman to win the Nobel Peace Prize, "for her contribution to sustainable development, democracy and peace."
