Warmest
wishes to everyone for the new year! Despite the troubles that have
beset the Portland Branch of the NAACP this autumn, the indefatigable
Rachel Talbot Ross and many allies and friends have come together to
create a series of events to celebrate the birthday and legacy of the
Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Now more than ever, we can support
the work of racial justice and the dignity and worth of all people,
by supporting this organization that has been on the front lines for
so long. One of the issues faced by the branch was declining
membership. Margy and I just renewed our memberships. This is one
simple way to support the national and local work for justice. It
costs $30 for a regular membership and you can join or renew online
at http://www.naacp.org/pages/membership.
When you are prompted, indicate that your local branch is #2038, the
Portland Branch. Thank you!
Rev.
Myke
The
theme of this years activities is the Global Struggle for Freedom. You can find out about the events at http://naacp.me/2016/#MLK.
