In the chains of oppression, the only key unfastening its might are the words of the truth. Many prefer to stay silent, due to the crippling fear that after speaking of their side, awaits for them the threat of resignation papers. It is the fear, driven by unjust authority, and unhealthy work environments, that keeps them from changing the impaired direction of societyโs labor. We aim to create atmospheres, that encourage those victimized by poor working conditions, to use their voices, and speak up against their monsters. To be the light, in guiding them out the tunnel of maltreatment towards workers. And to fulfill and restore the morals and rights, of those whom have lost it. As instruments of the truth, we seek to preserve justice, and to restore it once more, to those whom have been robbed of it. Conducting interviews, we sought to find answers, to the conundrum of poor quality of labor. Not only has this served as a gateway, for workers to gain the power of their voices, but to then as well enable their truth, to speak radically in many different aspects. In the search for the truth, Justice prevails, and rights and fundamental freedoms are restored.

Flipped and distorted as this generation has become, the idea towards labor does not intertwine with neither the words of Martin Luther King Jr, and the prospects for work we see ourselves in for the future. If a crime is such, that people live in a rich nation alongside starvation wages, then how so is it a crime to speak up, and use the mouths given to us as vessels to defend our voices? Indeed, if such is a felony, then our advocacy will have put us behind bars. And still, we stand strong in the face of those who lose arms and legs, for the price of bread and butter.
One who works for the betterment of another, even in the lowest economical standings, possesses what we all must have in common. Dignity. It is a state of oneself, in which workers becomes robbed of by the thief of earthly greed. The glories of those whom possess wealthy companies, are built from the blood shed of those laborers who suffer from abusive environments. Service must come in the forms of public welfare, wherein moral-ethical practices and standard are beyond practiced. It must be done, ensuring the security of those putting their lifeโs work, into the cost of their own sweat. To doing what is necessary in the name of the law, in the name of morals, and in the root name of good, we establish Social Justice, and overall restore the dignities of whom have lost it. Work does not begin without wise action, practices of which prioritize the rights and interests of laborers. It begins with the moral code, and responsibilities of those in authority, to incorporate the good, in every single working aspect. To abide by the rights, and to practice the fundamental freedoms of each one. Planting the seed of morals in good, in bearing fruit of the future good.

Labor and work is not only particular to the working aspect of our lives. As such, it is the very main core of passion which man sustains in order to foster oneself and oneโs family. To pave way, giving life to an individual that is another. To abide by tomorrowโs side, in the midst of all harsh reality. Encircling this reality, portrays the cruel world that surrounds a mass population of workers in all corners of the Earth. Mistreatment, foul pay, abuse, and injustice are just amongst the monsters that hinder one to work for the life of which is not oneโs own. Those who work for the good of others, establishes oneโs free choice, free to soar in liberty of serving others. However, in the rusted cage of maltreatment, many workers are held captive, unable to practice the flight of their freedom. Held aback by abuse, the restoration of dignity within work and workers, vows to protect the rights and individual freedoms of those who seek jobs in the abode of safe environments. As John Donne speaks of โNo man is an islandโ, indeed, no worker must be let off suffering alone in silence, for the compromise of unworthy pay. As members of the same society, we hold responsibility for the victims of injustice in laborers. Objectively, the main goal is to end the conundrum of inequity and impartial treatment towards workers, following the fulfillment of our earthly values and purpose, which is to become instruments of Godโs unwavering love and compassion towards others.

Behind the art, lives the artist. Like writers of a novel, we aim to create art in the essence of conveying a message. Victimized by abuse from labor, when all along workers strive to support oneself and foster oneโs family. The conundrum of injustice is not talked about enough, and we, voices of the youth, make art that is through our eyes and mouths. Yet, enough of the muse, as we now meet the artists of such beauty in advocacy. Pusong Canossians, meet your trusty Servant Leaders - the heart of the movement!

โThrough work man must earn his daily bread", the opening words in Pope John Paul II's encyclical Laborem Exercens. Those of which the words, this project aims to make louder and clearer. Work/Labor, being the main activity that distinguishes us from other creatures, is viewed upside down, in the present time. The ideology is viewed backward, as a vessel for abuse and torment. We aspire to share our deep concern for the dignity of work and workers' rights, consistent with our team's vision and mission for this project.
Come and join us make a difference!๐คโจ
