On this #MagnificentMonday, I want you to think about all of the ways you can serve, and then do them.

We can't look to one politician or person to solve all of our problems, this vision of a Beloved Community requires all hands on deck.

Be clear on what’s at stake. The Supreme Court’s decisions impact the rights we fought hard to win, like the freedom to love freely. We’ve come too far to turn back now. Keep speaking up and protecting progress.

Every member of the human family is connected. Each of us is part of the whole, which affects the plight of us all. We're all called to live in a way that others are not harmed by our actions.

HISTORY ON REPEAT🔁: Much like the Shelby v. Holder decision in 2013, we're witnessing another huge attack on the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

We must do all that we can to raise our voices and protect our right to access the ballot.

All life is interconnected; nonviolence only works with this understanding. What happens to me happens to you and vice versa.

"If what we believe is not costly, than we're left to question it's value." - Martin Sheen

Nonviolence is not passive or easy work, but the sacrifice is always worthwhile.

It takes a great amount of courage to resist evil without violence. We're all capable of tapping into that level of bravery.

"Freedom is never really won. You earn it and win it in every generation." -- Coretta Scott King

It sounds like a platitude until you realize this is our current reality. Our struggle for freedom is ongoing and we must do our part to secure a just future for the next generation.

On Nov. 1st, families across this nation risk of losing SNAP benefits.

Community is so important right now. If you can help someone, you're doing that necessary work to eliminate the triple evils of racism, poverty, and violence.

Happy Birthday to my love, my partner, and the heartbeat of our family — @officialmlk3.bsky.social 💫

You bring joy and light into every room (and usually a little mischief too). Watching you lead with strength, laugh with abandon, and love with your whole heart is one of life’s greatest gifts.

"Time itself becomes an ally of the primitive forces of social stagnation. So we must help time and realize that the time is always right to do right."

-- MLK Jr.

Progress can't wait. Be courageous and take that step towards building the Beloved Community today.

The only way out of this challenging season is through nonviolent campaigns rooted in unconditional love.

Realizing the dream of Martin Luther King Jr. and Coretta Scott King is possible when we link our purposes together.

Diversity, equity, and inclusion are not about collective guilt. They are about collective responsibility.

History is calling us to come forward from the shadows of apathy and indifference and lead.

This is a shameful injustice.
