Today, we remember and honor Martin Luther King Jr., Coretta Scott King,
and the countless activists who have put their bodies on the line in the
fight for justice.

Martin and Coretta were leaders in a disruptive, radical and bold movement
— a movement dedicated to structural and social change. Today, we
celebrate the impact, and the lasting presence of the Civil Rights
Movement while recognizing that that movement remains incomplete.

Some people attempt to shorthand the movement — to say that Medgar died
and Martin marched and Rosa sat and John Lewis crossed a bridge, and
suddenly we were free, but we know that isn’t true — we continue to fight
for justice.

We must take a lesson from Dr. King, that the work of racial justice is
tied up inexorably with the struggle for social, economic, environmental
and education justice, and that we must recommit ourselves everyday to
those struggles.

In these unprecedented times, the work of ensuring justice requires
radical love — through radical truth telling about the policies and
politics that created inequality — and radical legislating and organizing
that will show us the way forward.

This morning, I spoke at the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Breakfast in
Boston and shared some more thoughts on our continued struggle for
justice. [ [link removed] ]I hope you’ll take a few moments to watch and then share with
your friends and family.

Thank you for being a part of this movement, and for helping to make
radical change possible.

In Solidarity,

Ayanna
