Dear friend,
This week (and always), we honor the legacy and lessons of the life of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.—an organizer, faith leader, and scholar whose work remains timely as ever.
The struggles the nation faces today mirror those of Dr. King’s time. From striking New York City nurses to ICE’s brutality in Chicago and Minneapolis to America’s imperial designs for Venezuela and Greenland, the unholy alliance of impoverishment, white supremacy, and militarism remains alive and well. Overcoming such powerful systems of subjugation will require righteous resistance led by the poor and dispossessed and anchored in our communities and faith traditions.
Like Dr. King, we must see this moment of great suffering as a commission for bold, decisive, and unsettling collective action.
