This MLK Day — honor Dr. King’s radical legacy!
On March 18th, 1968, Dr. King addressed striking sanitation workers in Memphis, just two weeks before his assassination. King’s words speak concretely to how the struggle against segregation, the struggle of the labor unions for dignified work, the struggle against the imperialist war machine are not just interconnected, but one fight. These words speak incisively to the heart of the struggles of today.
As working people across the country prepare to walk out and take the streets tomorrow, January 20, against ICE terror, as the people of Minnesota prepare for a general strike on Friday, January 23, to defend their communities, as the working class across the country stands up and says “No!” to the renewed war drive of this administration—we take these words of Dr. King to heart.

There is a campaign of terror being waged on our communities. It's time we take our collective power back!
Today, we honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr's struggle against racism, war and poverty. Tomorrow, we walk out in protest of one year of the Trump administration being in office. On Friday, we stand with Minnesota in their statewide shutdown against ICE terror.
This fight is not for a kinder version of the same nightmare. It is for dignity and a world where we, the people, have the right to control our own destiny. Take action and shut it down!

"One day our society must come to see this. One day our society will come to respect the sanitation worker if it is to survive, for the person who picks up our garbage...is as significant as the physician...All labor has dignity." — Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
