“I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in Reality….” And repeat – as we try to follow Beloved Rev Dr Brother Friend Martin said, being loud and clear, not silent; and persistent, not too late!
TODAY! Now!: Please call or e-mail your state senators and especially Senator Jacobs–jacobs@nysenate.gov, 518-455-3240 and Senator Ortt–ortt@nysenate.gov,, 518-455-2024 and urge them to support farm workers legislation. (Those 2 senators have consistently voted against our hard-working friends and neighbors.) The Farmworkers’ Fair Labor Human Rights Hearing is today in Albany and calling will help!! More today events below 😉

Dear Friends! 716-332-3904; 716-931-3520 1/13/18
Unbelievable – no, all too believable! Each day it’s the same old story. When you have an internet troll at the helm of the biggest Fear, Inc. corruption-collusion-teamocracy that ever rocked the 0.1%, – we have a problem. (It is a major employer in the area and has the resources available.) However,
“I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in Reality….” As our Beloved Rev Dr Brother Friend Martin said.
“That is why Good, temporarily defeated, is stronger than evil triumphant. “
We say it as seven activists, including Voices for Creative Nonviolence’s Kathy Kelly, were arrested Jan 11th for refusing to leave Rep. Steny Hoyer’s Washington DC office unless the Congressman (and House Minority Whip) committed to bring a vote on legislation to end the U.S.-Saudi war against Yemen. Under intense bombardment and naval blockade, Yemen is poised to become the new century’s worst case of epidemic and famine; in the worst global famine year in the history of the UN.
We need to follow our Principles and the Spirit – not allow rampant violence and war on People and the Planet by the 1% powered by our inertia, fear, and disbelief that another world, another way is possible. Yet ANOTHER WAY IS POSSIBLE! Crisis = Opportunity.
So don’t worry – but do Act. Stand. March. Speak. Vote. Resist. Believe. Win. #powertothepolls as we #unitethestruggles
