JOBS * JUSTICE * PEACE 1963-2011 In the1963 historic March on Washington where The Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King, Jr. gave his iconic “I Have a Dream” speech, there was a three-issue focus: jobs, justice, and peace. We believe the time is right to build a broad coalition of progressive community groups to take up the fight for those principals once again. Our first goal is to participate - and form a strong presence - in the annual 2011 MLK Parade on January 17, 2011. Our second goal is to build an on-going coalition in order to organize a genuine mass movement around these basic demands. We invite you to be a part of the initial planning to keep MLK’s legacy of organizing for peace, justice, and equality alive in the January 17, 2011 event and beyond. Please join us for our next meeting on Sunday December 19, 2010. (Details below.) If you are want to work for Peace, and an end to the Wars in Iraq and Afganistan---Join Us! If you want to work for Jobs, Education and Housing--- Join Us! If you want to work for Justice, and an end to the Prison-Industrial Complex --- Join Us! If you want to work to give our youth other options than the military, the drug economy, gangbanging and prison life--- Join Us! If you want justice, love and compassion for returning war veterans and the suffering people of Iraq, Afganistan, and every other country torn by war or the danger of war --- Join Us! We indeed hope you will join with us in this important effort and that you will attend the meeting on December 19th, at 2 pm at 1701 Morton Ave, LA 90026. (top of driveway- ample parking).

And if you get somebody to deliver the eulogy, tell them not to talk too long. Every now and then I wonder what I want them to say. Tell them not to mention that I have a Nobel Peace Prize, that isn't important.Tell them not to mention that I have three or four hundred other awards, that's not important. Tell him not to mention where I went to school. "I'd like somebody to mention that day, that Martin Luther King, Jr., tried to give his life to serving others. I'd like for somebody to to say that day, that Martin Luther King, Jr., tried to love somebody. I want you to say that day, that I tried to be right on the war question. I want you to be able to say that day, that I did try to feed the hungry. And I want you to be able to say that day, that I did try, in my life to clothe those who were naked. I want you to to say, on that day, that I did try, in my life, to visit those who were in prison. I want you to say that I tried to love and serve humanity. "Yes, if you want to say I was a drum major, say I was a drum major for justice; say I was a drum major for peace; I was a drum major for righteousness. And all the shallow things will not matter... I just want to leave a committed life behind." --- The Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, February 4, 1968 A KPFK Community Advisory Board Recommended Project: [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------------------ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- LAAMN: Los Angeles Alternative Media Network --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe: <mailto:[email protected]> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe: <mailto:[email protected]> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Digest: <mailto:[email protected]> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Help: <mailto:[email protected]?subject=laamn> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post: <mailto:[email protected]> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Archive1: <http://www.egroups.com/messages/laamn> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Archive2: <http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Yahoo!
