As community organizers, #martinlutherkingday impe As community organizers, #martinlutherkingday impels us to recommit our actions to the movement for #blackliberation. White Supremacy is as ubiquitous and commanding as gravity itself, not only in our nation, cities, and neighborhoods, but also in our organizations, workplaces, and meetings. Yet we can break free, even of such a powerful force. Humanity *was* made to fly, to soar, to inhabit the heavens with our imaginations, hopes, and ambitions. For this we need liberty, and we will fight for it. I flatter myself to think that Dr King might have appreciated another metaphor for characterizing the destructive presence of White Supremacy in our lives, using a resonant image from the Christian canon — as one of the dread Horsemen. That would make it one of a cavalry, perhaps its three companions are Patriarchy, Capitalism, and Imperialism. Harbingers of the Apocalypse, their presence is a threat, not to this group or that group, but to all life — their war is against all liberty. So, when we work and ride against these forces, we’re truly fighting for the future of all humankind. So: let us interrogate our practices, relationships, and organizational efforts, and make sure that we’re aligning ourselves to be partisans in the sacred fight for freedom.
