"Truth will prevail where there is pains to bring it to light." - George Washington "Three things cannot long stay hidden: the sun, the moon and the truth." – Buddha "Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves; ensure justice for those being crushed." – Proverbs 31:8-9 #truth #light #SpeakUp #justice #safety  #leadersarentbullies #HealthyWorkplaces #leaderselevatethoughtandconduct #safety #psychologicalsafetyatworkact #peace  Life transcends bad setbacks when people strive for justice, safety, peace, good, and truth. The truth may cause pain in the short term, but it sets people free!  Taking a stance against, and exposing, bullying shines a light on, and stops, abusive behaviors.

“Peace is more important than all justice; and peace was not made for the sake of justice, but justice for the sake of peace.” – Martin Luther "The safety of the people shall be the highest law." - Marcus Tullius Cicero “Prepare and prevent, don’t repair and repent.” - Ezra Taft Benson #peace #justice #safety #prepare #prevention #leadersarentbullies #HealthyWorkplaces #leaderselevatethoughtandconduct #freedom #psychologicalsafetyatworkact #protection

"All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent." - Edmund Burke "Americans must always place constitutional values over authoritarian control." - Madison Cawthorn #freedom #speech #thoughts #Independence #leadersarentbullies #HealthyWorkplaces #leaderselevatethoughtandconduct #justice #psychologicalsafetyatworkact #empower

"Multinational corporations do control. They control the politicians and judges. They control the media." - Jerry Brown "If the NDA requires silence, it enables the perpetrator to continue vile behavior. A broken NDA creates a double whammy; exposure of the bad behavior and the sordid effort to use an NDA to hide it. The cover up is often worse than the crime." - Rob Chesnut #truth #justice #speakout #safety #protect #leadersarentbullies #HealthyWorkplaces #leaderselevatethoughtandconduct #inspire   #psychologicalsafetyatworkact #peace

If organization #managers #coaches #teachers #volunteers etc (ie Paterno and PSU Admins keeping silent for decades Sandusky's serial pedophilia) do not have the ethical / moral framework to stop bullies, or fail to value people enough to stop abuse, they are not worthy employers.
