Sketches from the #reclaimmlk rally in Oakland led by @aptp_oakland @therealcatbrooks celebrating victories by @moms4housing and demanding accountability from the #AlamedaCounty Sheriffs dept and all their enablers. Also remembering the people who have been killed by police and making connections with labor, environment, and other justice movements. Speakers included politicians, labor leaders, disability activists, youth leaders - with clear efforts made to make the event #accessable for all #mlkday #reclaimmlkday (at Oscar Grant Plaza) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7jsOLPFI8k/?igshid=1f3q7qwvk6p26

#Blackcollegestudent #DorothyBell, 19, of #Birmingham, Ala., waits in a downtown Birmingham #lunchcounter for service that never came, #April4, #1963. She was arrested with 20 others in sit-in attempts. And #truthbetold, to quote #DrKing: “We #strugglin to be able to have the #money to be #ABLEtoBUY a #steak or a #hamburger once we get to the lunch counter we aim to #integrate” ~ #MartinLutherKingJR (who selflessly died for the cause and yet this quote is #sadlystilltrue). #civilrights #martinlutherking #reclaimmlkday #MLK #ReclaimMLK ...

If we are gong to reclaim Martin Luther King Jr. day, lets reclaim it through international solidarity. #kabataanunite16, the Filipino youth nationwide, stands in solidarity with the African American community of Central District in Seattle, WA to fight against gentrification and Uncle Ike's Dispensary that continue to disrupt and displace communities of color. We are connected by the struggle from a system that has set us up to be oppressed and fail in the land we were born and raised in. We will stay united to liberate each other and fight for the justice we all deserve. FIGHT FOR COMMUNITY NOT COMMODITY! UNITED WE STAND, THEN THEY WILL FALL. #RECLAIMMLKDay #InternationalSolidarity #FilipinosForBlackPower #OneStruggleOneFight #GentrificationIsColonization #StopGentrificationEVERYWHERE (at Uncle Ike's)

MLK Day...
I would like to take this day to remind you of a few things.
I got queued blog posts.
There will be no overplayed "I Have a Dream" speeches.
Today, I will let other people speak on my behalf.
Some will be angry. Some will cuss you out for using MLK as a prop.
But I'm just the messenger... that approves of the messages.
Have a nice day.
