Fifty years ago in Dr. King’s “Beyond Vietnam” speech he called for us to confront "the fierce urgency of now," and demand that this country "undergo a radical revolution of values.” In doing so he expanded his civil rights platform.  On the anniversary of that speech (April 4th)  and on May Day (May 1st) we will go beyond moments of outrage, beyond narrow concepts of sanctuary, and beyond barriers between communities that have much at stake and so much in common.  We will  strike, rally and resist.  Our aim is to build a mighty movement of all people dedicated to freedom.  That means we don’t deny our differences, we embrace them and build a movement bold, broad and big enough to include our many realities.
