Dr. King prided himself on being "maladjusted"

January 20, 2026

60 years ago, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. rejected the idea of complying with an unjust world. He helped mobilize millions to face the uncomfortable truth of the status quo — and to turn distress into defiance and power.

Today, as we did then, we are witnessing brutal oppression in our neighborhoods and on our screens. That’s why we're gathering this weekend as Jews and allies to meet the demands of the political moment together.

RSVP for the national call, “Using Our Power in 2026: Strategies to Resist Fascism and Stay Safe,” this Sunday, January 25.

Dr. King asked us to not accept — to be “maladjusted” — to the harms of racism, white supremacy, and oppression.

Today, we refuse to adjust ourselves to ICE kidnapping our neighbors. We refuse to adjust ourselves to police forces terrorizing Black neighborhoods. We refuse to adjust ourselves to antisemitic and white nationalist attacks that threaten Jews and all of our communities.

Join us this weekend to learn how to slow and stop Trump’s cruelty, including with mass mobilization and disciplined noncooperation.

RSVP for Sunday’s national call for Jews and allies — “Using Our Power in 2026: Strategies to Resist Fascism and Stay Safe.”

In Dr. King’s honor, and as our ancestors have before us, we take pride in our defiance. We make the change we need, for our generation and generations to come.
