"Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves;
   ensure justice for those being crushed."

- Proverbs 31:8 (NLT)

According to the text above, we hold a responsibility to speak up when we know there are others that cannot speak for themselves. We are on this earth to seek justice for those treated unfairly. We are here to be a loud voice in a world that wishes to keep us quiet. And thus, thirty one: 8 was born.

​

thirty one: 8 is here as a place for those who currently have no words, to once again, find their voice. We are here as a place for those who cannot speak for themselves to have representation in this world. Through the blog and podcast, we are here to use our voices to describe where we are, to ask for help, and to talk about or even scream about the atrocities we see. Here is a place to find your voice and tell the world that you are here and that you matter.

We want to hear from you! We want to listen! We want to be the sounding board to begin or continue the fight for your cause. We want to partner with you as you speak up for the voiceless, even if that is yourself finding your voice once again.
