Join us the third Wednesday of each month, beginning January 20.

Today, the country celebrates the life of Martin Luther King, Jr. On April 4, 1967, King delivered the Beyond Vietnam speech in the Riverside Church as a powerful indictment of the Vietnam War—the words are as true today as they were when first spoken. Read the speech here ; listen here .

Many of the values on which PDA was founded are based on the teachings of Dr. King, and we believe that our policy positions reflect his beliefs. So it is appropriate that today, Martin Luther King’s birthday, PDA officially launches the Brown Bag Lunch Vigils (BBLV) to be held every third Wednesday each month, beginning on Wednesday, January 20. The vigils are an expansion of the Healthcare NOT Warfare campaign. Click here to learn more .
