"Fight for 15, Black Lives Movements National Protests Marking Anniversary of Dr. King's Assassination": Thousands of workers fighting for $15/hour and union rights joined racial justice activists in the Movement for Black Lives to wage a two-dozen-city Fight Racism, Raise Pay protest on April 4, 2017 – the 49th anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s assassination and the 50th anniversary of the civil rights icon's historic "Beyond Vietnam" speech. Dr. King saw a common bond between the labor and civil rights movements and believed that union rights were fundamental to achieving racial justice. The April 4th protests are the latest wave of defiance against reactionary attacks on working people, people of color, women and immigrants, and come as Republican lawmakers in more than two-dozen states have introduced legislation aimed at cracking down on protesters like those in the Fight for $15 and the Movement for Black Lives.
