The power of the historic March on Wash-
ington for Jobs and Freedom, August 28,
1963, is captured in a masterful, movingtribute in Time Magazine (Aug. 26/Sept. 2,
2013).A black-and-white photo of Dr. Mar-
n Luther King, Jr., The Founding Father
Architect of the 21st
Century, is outlined by
the signature red border ofTime.

It was a procession of church. It was never, ever a march. It
was a congregaon that was answering the call. Jh Smh, Fm R
I was overwhelmed with the sense that I was in the pres-

It really has to be a moral crusade for the country.

It went beyond Joy. It was hard to describe, but it was the
anthesis of fear and it propelled us all into another chan-nel in our lives. This moment belongs to us together.

The health of a society
is truly measured by the
quality of its concern
and care for the health
of its members ... The
right of every individu-
als to adequate health
care lows from the
sanctity of human life
and that dignity be-
longs to all human be-
ings ... We believe that
health is a fundamental
human right which has
as its prerequisites so-
cial justice and equality
and that it should be
equally available and
accessible to all.

The land ethic simply
enlarges the boundaries
of the community to
include soils, waters,
plants, and animals, or
collectively: the land...
In short, a land ethic
changes the role of Ho-
mo sapiens from con-
queror of the land-
community to plain
member and citizen of
it. It implies respect for
his fellow-members,
and also respect for the
community as such.

Our government
seems insistent on
taking away privi-
leges we share as
citizens of Wisconsin
by drafting new
laws that beneitspecial interests.
If GTAC is sincere
about protecting its
workers at the po-
tential mine site, the
solution is simple
voluntarily with-
draw the lands from
the MFL program.
Then these private
lands will be closed
automatically to the
public.

history teaches us that progressive change can only happen when cizens are engaged a

Certainly, there are risks when one speaks to power,
but Wisconsins progressive history and values urge us to rise up and act.
