Andrew,
Today and every day, we honor the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., even as we carry so much of our own pain and grief.
We're fighting for our lives and liberation. We're mourning the Black lives lost to systemic racism, police brutality, and white supremacy.
But winning despite a system that is rigged against us is what we've always done. Just as Dr. King did, we continue to persevere. We continue to center Black lives. And we continue to speak out and take action against injustice everywhere.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. believed in the possibility of an America that celebrates, acknowledges, and allows for Black lives to thrive. Our movement works to embody so much of his legacy and strength – which has allowed us to get closer and closer to total liberation of Black people everywhere.
It is important that we take a moment to rest and reflect on all that our ancestors have contributed to the movement. With each passing day, we take more and more steps toward realizing the world that Dr. King so diligently believed in.
Keep checking in on each other, and keep on fighting.
In love and solidarity,
Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation
