If you post anything on social media today, make it a simple statement,
Congress Must Pass Legislation to Expand and Protect Voting Rights Now!
Today the United States pauses to honor Dr. Martin Luther King. Almost 60 years after this speech on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, we are still struggling to fulfill the dream. Racists don't realize that the issue is caused by them, not by the people they hate. The racists are the ones who must change. A racist is not a Patriot.
We need to work to develop understanding that difference is strength. No one should live in fear because of who they are. That all people are created equal, all should be welcome the table of Democracy.
All people who are different in anyway, age, gender, disability, origin, need to band together. Our struggles are different, but connect.
None of us are truly free, until all of us are free.
Our fore fathers, Luther King, and many others would be appalled at this country today...... I hope this will pass, but I just don't know how we move past where we are at. Some much damage and hole dig to deep. And it doesn't help when I don't trust any politicians.
