Statement from The King Center Calling for Cease-fire in Israel-Gaza Strip

The King Center calls on our national and global leaders to recognize that a cease-fire and peaceful resolution form the only pathway to prevent the killing of more Israeli and Palestinian civilians. Image
We believe that, in this interconnected World House, we possess the capacity, through judicious humane thinking, to develop a strategy for rescuing Israeli hostages and avoiding the death and destruction of more Palestinian civilians.
These words from Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. about the Vietnam War still ring true today, “If we assume that mankind has a right to survive, then we must find an alternative to war and destruction..

🧵 1. Stop denying #racism exists.

2. Be educated on racism as a grave issue of prejudice, harnessing and abuse of power, and manipulation of privilege.

3. Commit to being informed on systemic issues.
4. Pay attention to those who say they are being violated by systemic #racism/discrimination.

5. Care.

6. Study the global and national impact of racism and white supremacy.
7. Honestly examine systems constructed with and infiltrated by racist ideals.

Examples: Healthcare, education, criminal 'justice' (school to prison pipeline, prison industrial complex), housing, etc

“Cowardice asks the question ‘Is it safe?’ Expediency asks the question ‘Is it politic?’ And Vanity comes along and asks the question ‘Is it popular?’ But Conscience asks the question ‘Is it right?’” #MLK Image
