“Dr. King was not easy.”

MLK Jr. clashed with our systems of oppression. He demanded change. His courage stands in stark contrast with the cowardice of people like Pete Hegseth, Marco Rubio, the guy in the White House, ICE agents who can’t even handle teasing by a couple of women.

On this holiday we remember a man who organized for the sake of all working people. So much respect. I hope you’ll take up the baton.

We are encouraging people to treat rallies as a way to meet people and organizations, practice being in the streets together, and energize yourselves for the fight ahead. Yes rallies are not the be-all-end-all of resistance but they are a fantastic starting point and they can fill up our emotional tanks to continue doing this work

Also, it is very important to celebrate heroes and memorialize the fallen in antifascism, and Dr. King is both. We'll see you all there.

In honor of the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. holiday in the U.S., I am featuring Doris "Dorie" Miller from Waco, TX.
Miller was serving on the battleship West Virginia in Pearl Harbor as a Navy Cook 3rd Class when the Japanese attacked in Dec 7 1941. When the attack began, Miller manned an anti-aircraft gun, despite having no training, and shot down several Japanese planes. He also helped numerous injured sailors to safety. Sadly, he later died in battle in 1943. He is the first black American to receive the Navy Cross, the second highest service decoration for valor in combat.
