The Annual Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. March and Rally Against Inequality, Racism, Sexism, Fascism and War. 

Thanks to Carol Gay, also the Green Party of NJ for getting the word out about this.

Dear Affiliates, Friends and Supporters,

Let's be there, folks!  Nothing is more important this Monday than honoring the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. 

Join Us to Commemorate Dr. MLK, Jr. and demand Peace, Equality, Renewable Energy Jobs, and Justice!

465 Dr. MLK, Jr. Blvd, Newark, Noon, Jan 15 - Let's start the year off right.  Let's march against the triple evils of militarism, racism, and materialism, or poverty as some say.  Let's pledge to make this year the year to begin closing the wealth gap. We have lived with egregious income inequality for far too long.

"A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual death."
Martin Luther King, Jr.

From the NJ Anti- War Agenda:

 2018 - A New Year of Anti-War Struggle. Celebrate the  Anti-War Legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr!

On January 15, 2018, NJPA, NJ State Industrial Union Council, NJ Green Party and other groups that are part of the NJ Anti-War Agenda are proud to join our sisters and brothers in the People's Organization for Progress on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day to continue his life's call to rally against social injustice, economic inequality and never-ending war. From 12 Noon to 2 p.m.  we will meet at 465 Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr Blvd next to old Record's Hall in Newark (between W. Market St and Springfield Ave.) Given the weather conditions that began on January 5 NJ Anti-War Agenda is combining the call for this protest to join POP's already scheduled march and rally at the same location on Monday, January 15 : The Annual Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. March and Rally Against Inequality, Racism, Sexism, Fascism and War.

In Solidarity,

Carol
