Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that.
– Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

We wanted to take this opportunity today to thank you for all the love that you have shown our fight for social justice and positive change. We don’t talk about love enough in our everday work and lives, but it’s out of love that we fight for dignity and respect for our brothers and sisters experiencing homelessness. It’s out of love that we work to organize bus riders to reform public transit to a system that meets their needs. It’s out of love that we demand an end to practices that allow police harrassment. It’s out of love that we bring our community together to build a people’s movement that let’s our community lead on the decisions that affect their lives. I guess you could say it’s a love movement.

We write today to ask for a little love from you in building this movment. Today, while your taking the time to show gratitude to your loved ones, please take a moment to show some love for our community by becoming a member of the Mid-South Peace and Justice Center.

We know that the only way we will achieve social change is by building movements comprised of those that are most affected by social problems in our society. This is why it is so important for you to become a member. It is not just about raising money, it is about building an inclusive organization that is representative of all the communities in Memphis. While politicians argue with each other and focus their attention on everything but the needs of low-income communities, we are training and organizing grassroots leaders to lead campaigns of social, economic, and racial justice. We are working to build a movement of those that suffer the most, yet have the least input in decisions that directly affect their lives. That’s why movement building is a permanent effort: in both good times and bad, we always need to build the next push for change—leader by leader, community by community.

Become a leader, represent your community. Join the Mid-South Peace and Justice Center!
