KCMO Council Passes Move the Money

KCMO City Council Unanimously Passes Move the Money Resolution at April 11 session.

AFSC in Kansas City reflected on MLK and the U.S. budget debate

By Ira Harritt, program coordinator in Kansas City

“This is America’s opportunity to help bridge the gulf between the haves and the have-nots. The question is whether America will do it.”
~Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., in his last Sunday sermon, Remaining Awake through a Great Revolution  

Dr. King’s question is still before us. We still have the ability to bridge this gulf, even though it has been growing larger and larger, especially in the past 30 years.
