John, today we honor the life and memory of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. as a powerhouse figure in the Civil Rights movement.

Dr. King fought to advance American society and highlight the devastating effects of systemic racism that we still confront to this very day. He spoke in his famous "I Have a Dream" speech about the chains of poverty, segregation, and oppression that Black Americans still encounter 60 years later. 

While we as a country have made progress, we also have still been incapable of grappling with the deep and tangled roots that created our nation.

We still witness white nationalism rise in the wake of the last administration. We still see police brutality directed disproportionately at Black people and people of color. We still feel the ripple effects of policies cemented in our culture long ago. We seem to take the proverbial four steps forward and then two steps back. 

It is up to us, these many years forward, to continue the work of Dr. King and to continue to push for a country that lives up to its claims. We must continue to amplify Black voices and the voices that have been historically restricted by the stain of white supremacy and our sordid past. We must continue to push for progressive legislation and correct the policies that have made true equality out of reach for too many. 

John, will you help us to continue to power the movement of progress in America but chipping in a small donation today?

For a better tomorrow, and a better country for us ALL.
