On Saturday, Howie kicked off the #GreenSocialist podcast reflecting on #MLK.
On Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, we must protect the hard-fought gains he helped achieve—and continue his unfinished struggle for a freer and more just society by raising our voices to confront abuses of power, challenge hate and discrimination, and protect the right to vote.
Today on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, we honor the memory of a remarkable man and a giant of the Civil Rights Movement. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. challenged our Nation to live up to the highest ideals of our founding and his memory will continue to inspire generations to come.
I often turn to the words of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. for inspiration.
Today, I’m keeping these words in mind: the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.
The United Arab Emirates gave cash to Clinton and favors to Trump in 2016. Oil sheiks - foreign and domestic - like to buy presidents and fossil fuel friendly policies. We get stuck with the costs - deadly pollution and climate collapse.

If you have not gotten vaccinated, do it. Personal choice impacts all of us—our hospitals, our country.
COVID-19 is one of the most formidable things America's ever faced. We have to work together, not against each other. We are the United States of America. We can do this.
The Presidential Debates need to belong to we the people, not the party elites. In 2020 I was invited to a Presidential debate by @AmericasDebate at @pritzkerlibrary to honor Veterans. Trump and Biden were no shows. Why? Read on:

Goodbye @LPGeorgia! Thank you for an amazing time and inviting me to be a part of it. Next up, an amazing time with the @Arizona_LP. Who's ready for the Liberty Oasis?
After today's discussion about workers' rights, we are reminded that we have been pushing an aggressive relief agenda that would deliver #MedicareForAll and a #GreenNewDeal to drive the recovery.

Congratulations to the 74th Governor of the Great State of Virginia, @GlennYoungkin! The people of the Old Dominion have a champion in Glenn and he will fight for them every day! 🇺🇸
Today, on #MLK's birthday, we want to revisit a post from 2 years ago during the campaign, Martin Luther King Jr was a Radical Socialist Advocate of Reparations.
Read the article at https://howiehawkins.us/martin-luther-king-jr-was-a-radical-socialist-advocate-of-reparations/
A son of Georgia, Dr. King spent his life fighting for economic and racial justice. His fight for equality and dignity lives on in those today who organize for freedom and justice for all.
To truly celebrate his birth on this day in 1929, we must carry out his work.
TODAY! Howie will be joined by Kristin Urquiza, for a special episode focusing on Workers' Rights and COVID. Don't miss what should be a great conversation!

Across the country, 45,000 of our bridges are in desperate need of repair. My Bipartisan Infrastructure Law includes $40 billion to make those repairs.
Every American child, no matter where they live or their economic status should have access to high-speed internet.
Our Bipartisan Infrastructure Law has invested $65 billion to get every corner of our country connected—helping students, small businesses, and families.
One of my favorite things about traveling is reconnecting with friends from the campaign trail. I am so grateful to have @AngelaFor14 in my life, I just wish she lived closer! Thank you Angela for everything you've done for me over the years. You are truly appreciated!
The Hawkins/Walker ticket came this close to maintaining ballot qualification. We ended up about two hundredths of a percent shy of the threshold to maintain ballot qualification, so we have to collect again for 2022.

We are not where we were a year ago—we are building back up.
The crybaby GOP whined again yesterday they'll leave the Commission on Presidential Debates, a two-party monopoly they control jointly with the Dems to exclude third party candidates. We need Open Debates with all candidates on enough state ballots to win. https://ballotpedia.org/Fact_check/Are_the_presidential_debates_rigged_in_favor_of_major_party_candidates

I’ve said it before: If you are unvaccinated, and test positive, you are 17 times more likely to get hospitalized.
The best way to keep yourself and your family safe is to get vaccinated, boosted, and wear a mask indoors and in public spaces.
An excellent take down of the anti-vax grifters who too many "conspiritualists" who think they are on the Left fall for.

I was just finishing thoughts on today's debate announcement when the news about SCOTUS overturning the mandates broke. Read my thoughts and praise on ending the mandates at People for Liberty.
https://people4liberty.org/why-do-you-need-a-mandate/
Today, President Biden announced that we are in the process of purchasing an additional 500 million more tests to meet future demand.
The American people will now have more access to convenient COVID-19 at-home tests.
Upholding one of the most important tenets of our democracy—access to the ballot for all eligible voters—should not be a partisan issue.
It’s an American issue.
50 Republicans should not be absolved from the responsibility of preserving and protecting our democracy.

Earlier this month, @AmericanFreedom filed an amicus brief asking SCOTUS to block Joe Biden’s unconstitutional vaccine mandate. Today, Freedom WON and SCOTUS blocked the mandate. https://www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/21/21A244/206892/20211230114342444_IN%20RE%20MCP%20NO.%20165.pdf
21st century Jim Crow is about voter suppression and subversion—it’s about who gets to vote, who counts your vote, and whether your vote is counted.
The Senate must pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act and the Freedom to Vote Act.

Another instance of the hypocrisy and cruelty of the Biden administration's immigration policies. DOJ tells court that separated migrant families are not entitled to compensation.

Like so many others, I stand on the shoulders of giants like Congressman John Lewis and remind myself of the work we have left to do. Democracy is stronger when everyone participates—and is weaker when people are left out.

It’s not enough to praise Congressman John Lewis’ memory. In order to follow in his footsteps, we must translate eulogy into action and support the bill in his name.
The Senate must pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act and the Freedom to Vote Act.
Last year alone, 34 laws were enacted in 19 states with provisions restricting voting rights.
What’s their end game? To turn the will of the voters into a mere suggestion.

Years from now, our children and grandchildren will ask us what we did at this moment in history.
The U.S. Senate must act with the urgency this moment demands and safeguard our democracy for generations to come.
