This year's theme is Bridging. The great orator and leader simply stated “Let’s build bridges, not walls”. He spent his life advocating for the breakdown of walls and barriers. Walls of discrimination, division, and disparity. Dr. King knew that walls are symbolic of fear and ignorance, whereas bridges represented understanding and coming together. He was a living bridge, an embodiment of hope. Every day, in every action, we should build bridges of inclusion that radically restructure our society. The bridges we build should heal, provide resources, and withstand the rampant storms of supremacy. At times they may sway but they should never collapse under pressure.
This year we invite you to practice the art of connecting with intention. Practice the art of Bridging; Traverse every challenge by leaning on the strength of our history, while reaching towards a future with true democracy, community care, and sustainable harmony. |
On behalf of all of us at Alliance San Diego, thank you for your continued commitment to making San Diego a more inclusive community.
In solidarity and struggle, Miesha Rice Advancement Director Alliance San Diego |
