Dear Supporter,
Right now, Glenn Beck is in the middle of his "Restoring Honor" rally on the National Mall. Beck's gathered thousands -- including Sarah Palin and Michele Bachmann -- at the Lincoln Memorial on the 47th Anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr's iconic "I Have a Dream" speech.
Beck called his chosen date and location "divine providence," but given Beck's racially charged rhetoric and his constant misrepresentation of social justice and the civil rights movement [1], we're tempted to use far less polite words for it.
Beck has a right to free speech, but that doesn't mean we're going to let him speak for us.
Join our simple witness for social justice and Dr. King's legacy: Change your Facebook status to "I still have a dream of social justice" or another slogan that honors Dr. King and his work.
