Two Things

 

I overslept, I woke up during REM sleep, and I was stunned by the view outside my window. I’m still not entirely convinced that I’m awake. 

Two things for your day:

1. The MLK Holiday Commission is holding a non-perishable food drive today at a variety of locations. You can read the details below. 

2. The Anti-Racist Education Alliance has created a survey focused on the impact of the Israel-Gaza War on school students and staff. Here is their press release:

Here is the link to the survey itself: AREA School Staff and Student Support Survey  It’s not long. Even though I don’t fall in either category I was interested to read the survey and learn what it was all about. I’ve been following the world of AREA since its inception and I have a lot of respect for them.

The words I shared yesterday from Dr. King’s daughter come to mind once more:

When you evoke my father this #MLKDay, remember that he was resolute about eradicating racism, poverty, and militarism. And about corrective justice work.

Don’t just quote him.

Encourage and enact policies that reflect his teachings. - - Bernice King
