MIDDLEBORO REVIEW AND SO ON

The Workers Circle delegation kicked off a transformative weekend in Selma, Alabama.

Did you see this? Today is MLK Day – and we’re taking this moment as a commitment to action, just as Dr. King would expect of us. The Workers Circle is returning to Selma March 5–9, 2026 for the 61st Jubilee Bridge Crossing and we’re building our biggest delegation yet. Here’s the goal: double our contingent from last year and fund 25 full youth scholarships so young leaders can stand where history moved and carry those lessons back into today’s fights for democracy and voting rights. One reality is clear: The future lies with the next generation of leaders. And together, we can ensure that they carry with them the legacy of those who fought for social, racial, and economic justice in the past – so that they can continue that work for years to come. If you can join us, please RSVP/register here: RSVP >> And if you can’t travel, donate today to help cover the cost for a young person to attend. We couldn’t do this without generous people like you >> DONATE At a time where it feels as though the very guardrails of our democracy may fall to the wayside, it is more important than ever to gather, in community, to celebrate our victories from the past, and use them as inspiration to chart our course for the future. Onward, The Workers Circle -- PREVIOUS EMAIL -- As we head into MLK Day tomorrow, we’re reminded of something Dr. King lived every day: democracy isn’t self-sustaining. It has to be protected, renewed, and peacefully fought for – side-by-side, with our friends, neighbors, and community. That’s why the Workers Circle is returning to Selma for the 61st Anniversary of the Selma Bridge Crossing, from Thursday, March 5 to Monday, March 9, 2026 and we want you with us. Learn more and RSVP if you can make it! RSVP >> In 1965, Workers Circle leaders stood on the frontlines of history, marching shoulder-to-shoulder with John Lewis, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and Amelia Boynton from Selma to Montgomery to demand voting rights and an end to Jim Crow. Returning to Selma is how we honor that legacy – because at this moment in history, we must look back at the victories of those who came before us, so we can draw on those lessons for strategically and sustainably opposing the Trump administration’s unprecedented attacks on America’s people and our democracy. Last year, supporters like you helped make it possible for 20 young people to join us in Selma. This year, we’re going even bolder: we want to double our total contingent from last year from 50 to 100… and cover the full expenses for 25 young people to attend so the next generation can learn this history firsthand and bring it back to their campuses and communities. If you can’t make it to the march with us, help sponsor the younger generation of organizers and leaders to make sure they get there! DONATE In dark times like these, it is always important to remember that the moral arc of the universe is long, but it bends towards justice. As long as good people, like you, refuse to give in to despair. In solidarity, The Workers Circle
