Black text on white background reads: "If America does not use her vast resources of wealth to end poverty and make it possible for all of God's children to have the basic necessities of life, she too will go to hell. I will hear America through her historians, years and generations to come, saying, "We built gigantic buildings to kiss the skies. We built gargantuan bridges to span the seas. Through our space ships we were able to carve highways through the stratosphere. Through our submarines we were able to penetrate oceanic depths." It seems that I can hear the God of the universe saying, "Even though you have done all of that, I was hungry and you fed me not. I was naked and you clothed me not. The children of my sons and daughters were in need of economic security and you didn't provide it for them. And so you cannot enter the kingdom of greatness." This may well be the indictment on America. And that same voice says in Memphis to the mayor, to the power structure, "If you do it unto the least of these of my children you do it unto me." -Martin Luther King Jr at the Southern Christian Leadership Conference And he was right. America is sick. It has a virus deep within it, and until that virus has been eradicated, it will continue to rot. That's individualism. That's capitalism. That's the unjust hierarchies that permeate every interaction we have with each other. America did not use its vast wealth to ensure everyone has what they need, and we are watching the fall.

Do it because it's the right thing to do.
Red Hammer and Sickle on black background. White writing above reads: "If you are hungry, I will offer food. If you are thirsty, I will offer water. If you are cold, I will offer warmth. If you are in need, ask and I will give. If you are in trouble, ask and I will help." White writing below reads: "I do not do these things in the hopes of being rewarded. I do not do these things out of fear of punishment. I do these things because I know them to be right."
