Kerry Washington Emphasizes Action and Empathy in Social Justice Efforts: "Give Your Heart"
![On the emotional aspect of social justice efforts: "I think it's cyclical. We move the needle with laws and then we are able to move more laws with emotion, with empathy. We rely on each other, because we have to shift behavior and shift hearts."
On the latest progression of social awareness: "This is such a great moment because we are in an unprecedented time where people of extraordinary privilege, for lots of reasons, are asking themselves how they can do more and be more to be part of the solution. Whether it is to give your time, give your money, give your heart, [or] speak up in the conversation when somebody says they don't believe something."](https://media1.popsugar-assets.com/files/thumbor/Y2eynu0gTEAYUXXLYJf0eoQa5Yw/fit-in/1024x1024/filters:format_auto-!!-:strip_icc-!!-/2020/08/05/645/n/1922398/790e903ac81d1357_TCX090120KerryWashington_03/i/On-emotional-aspect-social-justice-efforts-I-think-it.jpg "On the emotional aspect of social justice efforts: \"I think it's cyclical.
