Economic Opportunity Action Roundtable: Fulfilling Dr. King's Dream
About this Event
FULL DESCRIPTION
More than six decades ago, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. stood before the nation and called for jobs and freedom — not one or the other, but both, together. He understood that economic justice and civil rights were never separate movements; they were the same fight.
As we approach the anniversary of the March on Washington, we return to that same call.
Join us for the Economic Opportunity Action Roundtable hosted by the NAACP Miami-Dade Branch, New Shiloh Missionary Baptist Church, and the Center for Community Self-Help, is a continuation of the movement that was started this summer in response to South Florida's growing affordability crisis and the Julian Bond Institute for Financial Equity Research's report, "Ambition Without Access: Race, Generation, and the Barriers to Wealth Building in America." This gathering carries Dr. King's unfinished work forward — not just the dream of equality, but the push for economic access and opportunity that his final years of organizing were built around.
This roundtable will bring people together to continue building a movement focused on real policy change — one that turns collective voice into collective power. It is the next step in a sustained push toward the economic justice Dr. King spent his life fighting for, and that our community continues to fight for today.
