In The Activist Spirit, Toward a Radical Solidarity, labor and immigrant rights activist Victor Narro suggests there is a spiritual core within social justice activism from which we can deepen our solidarity with each other, our interconnectedness, and our compassion.

The work for justice is filled with the values attributed to spirituality - love, compassion, empathy for those in need, and a lifetime commitment to bring justice into their lives. This book is a call for all of us to integrate that inner spiritual core into our work to make the struggle for justice more compassionate, fulfilling, caring, and sustainable. To be an activist for justice is to love humanity and all of creation.
