Good afternoon.

Dr. King was an anti-war, anti-capitalist justice seeker who rejected poverty, racism, militarism and the death penalty.

He challenged the hypocrisy of "socialism for the rich and capitalism for the poor."

He called on us to refute the idea that racism is "just the occasional departure from the norm on the part of a few bigoted extremists."

Racism is codified into our laws, baked into our institutions and as American as apple pie.

So, thank you for your #MLKDay post.

Can I count you as a partner in the fight to legislate equity and justice with the same level of precision its taken to exact harm and injustice?
