Robyn's favourite post of the month: What would you do? Racism against Muslims - Islamophobia is one of the huge issues that we face today and I was as glad to see people standing up against it as I was worried when people supported it or did nothing.

Cortez's favourite post of the month: What would you do? Hate crime in progress -This is an issue around the world. People are hurting people because of slight differences. The fact that few people intervened shows me that the world has a long way to go. But not everyone is like this and as I am sure you know there are beings who make it their life's work to help others in need.

The best comment of the month: Hayley Solich commented on What would you do? Hate crime in progress, saying "When I was 18 years of age I witnessed 2 men attacking another with a crow bar in Bondi Beach, Australia. I stepped in and stopped them hitting him. Reflecting back, I probably had more guts than sense as it could easily have turned on me. However, I do believe that when you act out of a pure of heart motive to ensure justice, there is authority that is bigger than you are as a person. A great video to bring what is a very sad trend to light. Well done!"
