This is Thanksgiving but what's there to be thankful for?

300 school girls are still missing and almost no one cares.
Over 200,000 people are dead in Mexico and no one even knows.
The media is covering up a revolution in Brazil.
The murderer of an 18-year-old black teenager has made a fortune out of donations, is still living free, and has no remorse for what he did.
 
However,

there are people dedicating themselves to informing us about these injustices.
There are people standing outside in the cold risking their lives protesting what they know is wrong.
There are people in our country and around the world that are fighting for a change
There are people that are still taking rubber bullets and tear gas bombs to stand up for basic human rights. 
There are people simply recognizing that what is happening in our world right now is wrong.

And that's what we need to be thankful for.
