Skip navigation Search Sign in Senator Reyes Urges Us All to Live in Honor of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. stood up to power for the sake of justice, and prioritized the plight of those in most need as the center of his life's work and ministry. As he wrote in Letter from Birmingham Jail, Dr. King did not fear constructive tension, because it is necessary for growth. Growth and the fight for justice are not won within the comforts of silence. May we all embrace the type of tension Dr. King emulated for the betterment of all Californians.
