Will you stand in beloved community with Black folks across the country?

“I do not think of political power as an end. Neither do I think of
economic power as an end. They are ingredients in the objective that we
seek in life. And I think that end of that objective is a truly brotherly
society, the creation of the beloved community.”
-- Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Christian Century Magazine, July 1966

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

When Dr. King spoke of beloved community, he wasn’t referring to some
unattainable goal far off in the future. How do we apply his idea of
beloved community right now, in this moment, how do we love and support
each other? What does beloved community mean to you, John?

At Color Of Change, beloved community means standing up when there is an
injustice against Black people. It means refusing to remain silent in the
face of 400 years of interconnected, accumulative oppression and violence
against us. Color Of Change staff and members design and implement the
kind of campaigns that make it just a little easier for us to ultimately
live in community together. We are doing the crucial work of engaging a
critical mass of people to fight for justice with every petition signed,
phone call made, and dollar donated-- we are changing the landscape and
expanding what is politically possible for our people.

can, as often as they can. Can you pitch in
$3 today,John?

The internet didn’t exist when Dr. King was doing his work against the
triple evils of poverty, racism, and militarism. In attempting to honor
his legacy and that of so many freedom fighters before him, Color Of
Change has been a project to use modern digital tools to create space for
that sense of beloved community. So that no matter where we are in this
country, we can use the tools and networks built by this organization and
our partners to have each other’s backs in these uncertain times.

Our work touches communities from coast to coast and everywhere in
between. It is an honor and a privilege to get to serve our people and we
are so grateful that we live in a time of heightened awareness of the
challenges we face, the power we need to win, and an increasing willpower
to win it. We know we have everything we need and we are dedicated to
getting as close as we can to King’s vision of beloved community in our
lifetimes.

[ [link removed] ]Your support makes all of this work possible. Can you make an offering
in the name of Dr. King, our ancestor in the fight for full civil rights?

Until justice is real,
