We are at a critical moment in our nation’s history as we prepare to confront the troubling realities of our political climate. Our democracy is under siege due to the inevitable enactment of anti-immigrant policies, the targeting of programs that support our communities, threats to women’s rights, and a rise in political violence.
As we get ready for the next chapter in America’s story, we mourn the weakening of democratic ideals while asking a profound question: Will democracy survive? This is also a time for renewal and hope.
This is a recording of our January 20, 2025 event at Pleasant Grove Missionary Baptist Church. We honored Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and the change makers who carry his torch during these uncertain times. Our MLK Jr. Memorial for Democracy and Awards Ceremony. was a moment to:
- Unite in interfaith prayers for justice and healing
- Reflect on the state of our democracy and commit to action
- Celebrate Michigan’s change makers who are fighting for a brighter future
Watch how we honored Dr. King’s dream and strengthened our resolve to protect democracy.
