Celebrating Martin Luther King, Jr.
"Turning Legacy into Action"
A Community Gathering
Through violence you may murder a murderer but you can’t murder murder. Through violence you may murder a liar but you can’t establish truth. Through violence you may murder a hater, but you can’t murder hate. Darkness cannot put out darkness. Only light can do that.

The plan

10:30              Welcome/Registration - Sign in/ up for issue groups
11:00              Worship Celebration
12:00              Breakout listening sessions with focus on
  • Nonviolence
  • Gun Violence
  • Immigrant Rights
  • Labor Rights
  • Health Care (presented by Kentuckians for Single Payer Health Care)

From what we learn that day, Sowers of Justice Network will launch working groups on issues and plan another gathering in early March. These topics represent areas of commitment for the Sowers of Justice Network through 2014.  

* KSPH will discuss single payer health care, improved Medicare for all, the Conyers' bill HR 676, and what must be done to move the nation forward.  We will explore the current status of health care in our community, state, and country and focus on what everyone can do to build the movement to end inequality and assure universal care.  We will use Dr. King's statement:  "Of all the forms of inequality, injustice in health care is the most shocking and inhuman."
