"Through my continued deep friendship with the woman that hosted that fireside, I’ve come to learn a lot that I didn’t understand about racial injustice and systematized racism that is baked into our society in this country, how all of us are diseased by it, the degree of trauma that is passed down through the generations, and how … white people [are often oblivious] to their position of privilege and the suffering of their brothers and sisters. So I think that was kind of a turning point for me where rather than just a principle that I loved and to a certain extent had always tried to practice in my life, it kind of booted things to a new level to me where I felt an inner imperative from my heart and soul to see what part I could play in racial healing."

"Members of the Baha’i community, wherever they reside, avoid engaging in partisan politics or meddling in political relations among governments, refraining at all times from becoming involved in the contest for worldly power. They have chosen this path in accordance with the teachings of their Faith, that they might focus their attention on working towards the greater goal of establishing a united and prosperous society. This choice is not intended as a criticism of any particular political party or of the approach taken by other groups. Needless to say, in following this path Baha’is categorically reject any form of sedition or recourse to violence.

While eschewing partisan political activity, Baha’is are to vigorously engage in constructive public discourse and in a wide range of social endeavours aimed at the betterment of the world and the progress of their respective nations. They undertake such activities with humility, discernment and respect for prevailing laws and social conditions, in a spirit of learning and in collaboration with like-minded groups and individuals, fully confident in the power inherent in the principle of unity in diversity and in the efficacy of mutual aid and cooperation."

– The Universal House of Justice, from a letter to an individual Baha’i, 22 January 2010
