“ We are now faced with the fact that tomorrow is today. We are confronted with the fierce urgency of now . In this unfolding conundrum of life and history, there “is” such a thing as being too late . This is no time for apathy or complacency. This is a time for vigorous and positive action. ” The Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. X THE BLACK AMERICAN SOCIAL JUSTICE R/EVOLUTIONARY WHO SHIFTED THE EMBEDDED RACIAL TECTONIC PLATES OF SOCIAL INJUSTICE WITH RESOLUTE DEDICATION TO THE PRACTICE OF NON-VIOLENCE.

X Keeping empathy suppressed and denied, when an innate action of humane courage is imperative, is a decision to be silence itself – to be complicit. All of us have been blessed with someone’s humane actions of kindness, when our worlds seemed to have shattered, that fortified our hope, our faith, our courage, our body and mind. Practicing humanity begins with you and me. The measure of our character is our capacity to see/reality, empathize/compassion and do the right thing/step UP moral courage. Recall the times when your world was fragile, and someone’s actions of “SEEING” you and, in turn, they stepped UP and fulfilled your need – a testament of radiant RADICAL HOPE. Catherine L. Johnson X X VALENTINE’S DAY (EXTENDED) THROUGH SUNDAY 18 FEBRUARY X X X * LOWERTOWN * ST. PAUL WARMS ST.

X X Communities across America are being forced/demanded and CALLED to take WARM ACTIONS. X X Our HUMANITY to SEE the invisible as VISIBLE and PROTECT OUR CHILDREN f rom being murdered by assault guns is NOW. Are we NOW a nation of PTSD survivors of GUN VIOLENCE? GUN VIOLENCE is a fact in OUR schools, churches and theaters. X “Thoughts and Prayers” of our nation’s elected – alleged – leaders are code words of : “I am recipient of NRA monies.” X X VIDEO
X The children of OUR nation are RISING! The “fierce urgency of NOW” is THEIRS. Our NATION must RISE and NOT be complicit. Our ACTIONS tell the TRUTH of America’s REAL values. Weaponizing/ARMING/stockpiling our schools with guns – NO WAY!NO CHILDREN HUNTING. FEAR cancels OUT learning/teaching/creativity. PLEASE watch Emma Gonzalez, student/survivor of the Stoneman Douglas High School massacre.VIDEO

Oh c’mon NRA’s Dana Loesch: “These people are CRAZY people…” The 18 y/o was armed with an ASSAULT weapon – hunters do NOT use assault and semi-automatic weapons or bump stock their guns! Stoneman Douglas High School students are NOW revolutionaries of the NOW. #NEVER AGAIN VIDEO
