Today, I am thinking about the words Dr. King spoke on his last full day of life.
On that evening in Memphis in 1968, Dr. King told us that we would someday get to the “promised land.”
After the year we just had, the promised land can seem further and further away.

We are still struggling with the pandemic.
We are still fighting for social justice.
We are still watching efforts to deny sacred rights, like the right to vote, from too many Americans.
But at our best we are fighting on and continuing MLK's work and legacy.

In his honor, we must do all we can to protect our most basic democratic right to vote.
We must pass the Freedom to Vote Act and the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act to ensure that our elections are fair, our ballot boxes accessible, and that all Americans are heard.

America has marched a long road, and we still have a long road ahead.
In the spirit of Dr. King, let us use our energy, our skill, and our determination to ensure that someday we will get to the promised land together. #MLKDay2022
