If ever you think one person can’t make a difference, then watch this! Huge respect to Elin Ersson, a student at Gothenburg university, for - literally - standing up for what she believes in. A true inspiration [t.co] @Check out @CarolineLucas’s Tweet: [twitter.com]


Well done Elin Ersson! You're so young and show so many "adults" the mean of social courage. Bravo! Europe and the world earn millions with the war industry. We"want to save jobs at home" at the cost of millions civilians lifes worldwide. You showed a lot of courage. I'm proud of young people like you. We the "old generation" did not have the courage that you have and we are today paying the price.

Because an Afghan was being deported on her flight to Istanbul, activist Elin Ersson refused to sit down. What happens in the next minutes shakes everyone on board… - This is your country's rule. - I don't like my country's rules. I'm trying to change them.

Elin Ersson stood up to protect the life of another. She understands that this 52 year old Afghan man is her neighbor and she embodies loving your neighbor as yourself.

I think there is still hope for this world even with all these racist anti immigrant bashing Johny come latelys Imperial Wizards and Grand Cyclops. neo Nazi

a true vegan I would think has compasion for all peoples regardless where from.
caging children using them as a political pawn is as @#$%& low as it gets.

Elin shows courage may the gods bless her!

The number of (clearly coordinated) anonymous far-right trolls responding to this thread on the net reveals how frightened racist cowards are of people taking action in the name of universal solidarity.

Might we now here from Heritage Foundation or Mercatus?

I'd prefer to share a home w/someone who crossed a desert to live in the US than an American who refuses to cross the street to help an immigrant in need.
We're not insane—we're compassionate. Imaginary lines on maps don't make the ppl living on the other side any less human.

COMPASSION or Cages where you stand?

What a wonderful young woman! And a real inspiration in an age of anger and cowardice.
