STATEMENT ON MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR. DAY FROM BUILDING BACK TOGETHER EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR DANIELLE MELFI

“Each Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, our country honors one of the nation’s greatest leaders, who devoted his life and his work to the promise of justice and equality for all. He galvanized a movement of millions – from marches to boycotts, from sit-ins to the ballot box – whose impact still reverberates and inspires today.”

“His dedication to advocating for jobs, justice, and equality is a legacy that falls to each and every one of us to advance. Rhetoric is not enough. Work is required on every front to root out injustice in every form,whether it’s protecting fundamental rights like access to the ballot box, or advancing economic justice for all Americans. Along with a White House that is deeply committed to these goals, Building Back Together is proud to be an ally in the movement to advance Dr. King’s vision on all fronts and continue to move our nation toward a more perfect union.”
