In his final years, MLK Jr. saw that legal equality was not enough without real economic security, and called for a movement to abolish poverty and restore human dignity.

In his last book ”Where Do We Go From Here", King writes:
"I’m now convinced that the simplest approach will prove to be the most effective -- the solution to poverty is to abolish it directly by a now widely discussed measure: the guaranteed income." (1967)

On MLK Day, we honor his fight against segregation, and continue his unfinished work for an economy and society that work for everyone.
