Today is the 60th anniversary of the Aug. 28, 1963 March on Washington. We should celebrate not only the genius and achievement of Dr. King and a former generation, but also dedicate ourselves to the still unfinished work. 1/5

The march was organized by democratic socialist civil rights leaders A. Philip Randolph and Bayard Rustin, and after winning civil rights and voting rights legislation, Rustin, Randolph, and Dr. King shifted to a new set of demands: the Freedom Budget For All Americans.2/5

The Freedom Goal was "the abolition of poverty, guaranteed full employment, fair prices for farmers, fair wages for workers, housing & healthcare for all, the establishment of progressive tax, & fiscal policies that respected the needs of working families.3/5

Randolph called for "the full & final triumph of the civil rights movement, going beyond civil rights, linking a goal of racial justice with a goal of economic justice for all people by "rallying massive segments of the 99% of Americans in a powerful democratic & moral crusade" 4/5

My campaign is calling for a revival of the Freedom Budget, with similar economic policies to those laid out in 1965 by Randolph, Rustin, and Dr. King. It is not too late to dream. It's not too late to get it done. 5/5

How about we celebrate MLK properly. A huge part of his message is that he was anti-capitalism. This has been removed for his memory.

MAYBE its time to realize that WOMENS rights were not won and women were led to believe that working, promoting their sexuality in a "masculine" way, and acting aggressively like males would get them equality. Women are not equal to men and that is because of our BIOLOGY
Replying to @marwilliamson
Racism cannot be dealt with while we ignore how systematic sexism is. It is so bad women do not even recognize it. Many partake in it by believing that MEN are the reason they are held back. No, in 1963 Women were held back from men but now women do it to themselves
Replying to @marwilliamson
1963 WOMEN were organizers but MLK himself did not allow women to speak. Now women are still the organizers but they openly promote men dressed in female sexualized stereotypes as women and they defend them more than their own fellow women.
Replying to @marwilliamson
Many black women struggle, not just from racists but from the black MEN in their communities who think of women as bitches and hos. See the gangsta life cant just be ignored, but really for as great as MLK was, he treated women like gangstas do. WOMEN should know their history
