John,
Most of us know the story.
On "Bloody Sunday," March 7, 1965, some 600 civil rights marchers headed east out of Selma, Alabama on Route 80. They only got as far as the Edmund Pettus Bridge, a mere six blocks away. It was there on the bridge where they were relentlessly attacked with billy clubs and tear gas by law enforcement.
Fifty five years later, we must continue to fight for equality at a systemic level. We have so much further to go. That’s why we can never forget, because the same hate that gave us Bloody Sunday is alive in the systems that keep our communities down and in the cycle of poverty.
We cannot go backwards, we must move forward in progress, together! I am grateful for you being with me in this fight to build new, equitable systems based on justice.
All power to the people.
Anthony
