| "I
have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that
the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward
freedom is not the White Citizen's Councilor or the
Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more
devoted to 'order' than to justice; who prefers a negative
peace which is the absence of tension to a positive
peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly
says: 'I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I
cannot agree with your methods of direct action'; who
paternalistically believes he can set the timetable
for someone else's freedom; who lives by a mythical
concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro
to wait for a 'more convenient season.'"

| New
Years Resolutions for 2008
There
has been plenty of bad news in 2007. We watched our
country’s leadership sink to new lows, Iraq is
suffering worse than ever, vets with PTSD are abandoned,
1-2 million sub-prime borrowers will loose their homes,
nuclear Pakistan is in meltdown, immigrant scapegoating
has become the new race card, Guantanamo remains intact,
millions more lack health insurance, global warming
is accelerating, Darfur-Uganda-blindness, $100 a barrel,
educational inequality, San Diego’s forgotten
firestorm victims, civil rights diminished, domestic
spying increased, the growing class divide, and the
spread of world poverty. Ouch!
Let
us resolve in 2008 to bring hundreds of new people into
social justice activism. Iowa tells us that change is
in the air. Let’s resolve to: drive Blackwater
out of SD, register new voters, jam the immigrant bashers,
celebrate conscious culture, vote without forgetting
grassroots mobilizing, insist on universal health care,
help SD land a new FM community radio station, and educate,
educate, educate. Also, give generously to the orgs
and causes you believe make a difference.
Activist
San Diego is one of countless orgs ready to jump into
the fray, but none can do it without your participation
and support. We’d love to have you resolve to
work with us to expand the left-progressive movement
and widen our outreach. Please let us know that you
would like to get involved. Call 619-528-8383 or email
us at info@ActivistSanDiego.org
See
you at ASD's
General meeting on Mon. Jan. 14th? Hope so!
