"Dr. Martin Luther King once said "We're at a terrible stage when we confuse dissent
with disloyalty, and we view every protester as a traitor." Community activists are an
important part of our democracy. Without them, we wouldn't have abolished slavery,
and women wouldn't be able to vote. But if intimidation, fear, and war end up
muzzling this vital form of dissent, then our society will be the big loser. Community
activism and dissent must be supported."
