On this day, we honor Martin Luther King Jr. for his legacy in the civil rights movement, his fight for equality, and his service to the world. He was a beacon of hope and change in his own right and we continue to celebrate his legacy in our service to others.
#MLKDay
Hundreds of students gathered at the University of Havana to condemn the police repression of US student protesters and show their support for Palestine. On the same steps, students were repressed by the Batista dictatorship in the 1950s — one of the sparks of the revolution.
Happy 94th birthday, Dolores! When I was a young organizer, reading about @DoloresHuerta’s life and work showed me what was possible. As one of America's great labor and civil rights icons, Dolores has devoted her entire life to advocating for marginalized communities. She knows the power of community organizing, and through the Dolores Huerta Foundation, she continues to train and mentor new activists and organizers. She also came up with a pretty good slogan, “Si, se puede.” Yes, we can.
