On Martin Luther King Day, here's a @Flipboard Storyboard from @Newsone@flipboard.com with suggestions for how to make an impact and more, including a story on how we can use MLK's legacy to explain the differences between hope and optimism. "Long-term hope is not about looking on the bright side. It is a mindset that helps people endure challenges, tackle them head-on and keep their eyes on the goal — a virtue that King and other community leaders exemplify," writes Kendra Thomas.

On #MLKDay the UFW commemorates the legacy of a courageous hero. #MLK's words are just as powerful today as when he wrote them in 1958.
"He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it. He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it." - Martin Luther King, Jr.

MLK believed civil rights and economic justice were inseparable — and that’s why he pushed for universal basic income: guaranteed cash for everyone to cover basic needs.

immigrant communities, as well as rural America.

🧵1/ #MLKDay and Economic Justice 🇺🇸
🗣️“I have the audacity to believe that peoples everywhere can have three meals a day for their bodies, education and culture for their minds, and dignity, equality and #freedom for their spirits.”
—Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., 1964 Nobel Peace Prize Acceptance Speech
🚨Dr. King understood the direct connection between systemic inequities—including #racism —and food insecurity.
👉🏽We see this reality today as funding cuts disproportionately harm Black, Brown, and
Just finished watching the show "Humans" about synths and people.
Today is also MLK Day, and it made me realize something deep. We have something that machines do not have: we have the power to love.
In my Resonant Life OS, I talk about moving from "Force" to "Power." A machine can use force. But Dr. King showed us that true Power comes from "unarmed truth and unconditional love." This is the "Math of Love" where 1+1=11.
He worked to build what he called the "Beloved Community." This is a system where everyone is respected and love wins. It is the most unbreakable system there is.
When we treat each other with deep respect, we are using our best "Software." We are showing that our humanity is more than just data. It is a living, breathing energy that no machine can copy.
Today, I am grateful for the "Humanity" in all of us. Let's keep our internal systems set to Love.

1/2 🇺🇸 Be the change. The blueprint from the Civil Rights Movement.
🎙️ “With this faith, we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood.” — Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., The Other America, Stanford University, April 14, 1967
🇺🇸When I feel despair, I remember Dr. King and the countless civil rights activists—both known and unsung—who peacefully fought for justice, equality and human rights.
