Instead – today we celebrate the life of a fearless, unflinching warrior for righteousness and justice. He would recognize all too well today’s rising white supremacy, deepening inequality, and unabashed voter suppression — all symptoms of the deep-seated, systemic racism that still pervades American society. 

These challenges require collective action committed to Dr. King’s legacy of radicalism. At NYLPI, we follow the leadership of those most impacted by the intersecting crises of our time. Together, we must continue fighting the good fights, getting into the good trouble, and embarking on the good work necessary for the uncompromising pursuit of justice and lived equality. 

We hope you will join us in the struggles to ensure that the long arc does indeed bend towards justice.
