About this Petition Pledge

“Yes, if you want to say that I was a drum major, say that I was a drum major for justice. Say that I was a drum major for peace. I was a drum major for righteousness. And all of the other shallow things will not matter. I won't have any money to leave behind. I won't have the fine and luxurious things of life to leave behind. But I just want to leave a committed life behind. And that's all I want to say.” -Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

 

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. is one of history's most eloquent spokesmen for the need to confront poverty, violence and injustice throughout the world. He dedicated his life to this mission, but today his dream is incomplete. You can help to realize the dream though by committing to service within your own community, whether by volunteering your time for a local nonprofit, helping raise funds for a project that fulfills his dream, or becoming a social entrepreneur and starting an effort of your own.

 

Pledge to fulfill this action today, and let Realizing the Dream, Inc. know how you're doing it! If you have personal stories about how you're personally realizing the dream, then send them to wtharpe@realizingthedream.org and we'll try to feature them on our website!
