God has declared what is and isn't just.

God has condemned what is unjust.

We have generationally-old laws and statutes that impoverish and target certain communities.

What does Scripture say about things like that?

Isaiah 10 has much to say.
If the reaction to oppressive laws and statutes is to say, “how dare you join forces with unbelievers,” then the reaction is acting in the opposite spirit of 1 Peter 2:12.

How can good works be seen by unbelievers if believers are not performing good works?
A desire for justice is written upon the hearts of mankind.

How can we not weep and cry alongside unbelievers when injustice happens?

We can weep knowing that something greater is wrong, but that doesn't negate the reality of this present age and life.
Who is a “righteous man” according to Scripture?

Someone who “carries out true justice between men.” (Ezekiel 18)

Horizontal justice, not just vertical justice.
Ezekiel speaks plainly about those who claim to be believer but partake with injustice.
