Dear politicians/political influencers:

When you evoke my father this #MLKDay , remember that he was resolute about eradicating racism, poverty, and militarism. And about corrective justice work.

Don’t just quote him.

Encourage and enact policies that reflect his teachings.

“A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual death.” #MLK Day #MLK 95 #MLK

“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.” #MLK Day #MLK 95 #MLK

“Some of us who have already begun to break the silence of the night have found that the calling to speak is often a vocation of agony, but we must speak. We must speak with all the humility that is appropriate to our limited vision, but we must speak.” #MLK Day #MLK 95 #MLK

“Every step toward the goal of justice requires sacrifice, suffering, and struggle; the tireless exertions and passionate concern of dedicated individuals.”
