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.

Heated debate has surrounded a new monument commemorating #MartinLutherKing Jr. and his wife #CorettaScottKing. Unveiled in Boston earlier this month, #TheEmbrace sparked backlash and even mockery. Now, artist #HankWillisThomas is speaking out about his work, alongside the Rev. Liz Walker of #EmbraceBoston, the organization that funded the project. #MichelMartin
