Friend,
As we take a moment today to reflect on the remarkable spirit and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., it’s impossible not to feel as if his life’s work -- advancing the causes of justice, non-violence, and civil rights -- is under attack.
Two weeks ago, an armed mob of extremists stormed the Capitol, parading hate symbols like the confederate flag through its storied halls. It was a dark, shameful day that shook the very foundation of our country to its core, one that couldn’t have been more divergent from the America that Dr. King envisioned -- an America that lives up to its promise of freedom and equality for all.
We have a long road ahead of us, but I’m as committed as ever to honoring Dr. King’s life by championing the rights of all people, be it our right to vote, our right to protest peacefully, and our right to equality under the law. And as we look ahead to President Biden’s inauguration on Wednesday, I feel as hopeful as ever that we can, once again, work to make Dr. King’s vision a reality.
Thank you for your continued support in this shared fight,
Ted
