Abortion access is a Jewish value. Our movement is strong. Our movement is growing. Our movement is #BiggerThanRoe. Proud to be out in the streets and raising our voices today.

“There are people today who support unjust laws yet invoke King's name when it is convenient. Supporting policies that directly oppose King's dream for America, they cherry-pick his words without context to justify unjust laws.”

Opinion | MLK’s “Letter from Birmingham Jail” tells us what he would want us to do in the U.S. now
Politicians conveniently like to ignore that King had a radical side and often twist his words to justify enacting policies that go against everything he fought for.

In his famous speech at the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, Dr. King said: "We have also come to this hallowed spot to remind America of the fierce urgency of Now. This is no time to engage in the luxury of cooling off or to take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism."

Our government treated him like an enemy. He was beaten, criminalized, and assassinated. Many who claim to support him now directly uphold the systems he fought against, while Black organizers who carry on his legacy or push even further for justice are often treated as threats.
