This timely demonstration is gaining momentum everyday
with support coming from community, labor, student, religious, women's,
civil rights, LGBT, and peace groups around the country.
Dr. Martin Luther King said that "The greatest purveyor
of violence on the planet is my own government." That statement
is as true today as it was during the Vietnam War. We will honor
Dr. King's legacy by marching against the terror that these weapons
of mass destruction wreak on the world.
We also join with people all over the world who
mourn the loss of Phillip Berrigan who devoted his life to courageous
opposition to militarism and war. Phil Berrigan put his body on
the line in the struggle to call attention to the inherently evil
nature of weapons of mass destruction produced by and for the US
military industrial complex. In addition to honoring Dr. King, we
intend to make the January 18 march a living tribute to Phil Berrigan's
life and legacy.
