DISCLAIMER: The absence of events from a particular faction does not indicate that a slanted perspective exists in Activists Guide. It means that we are not notified of the event. There is no selection of events. If we were notified of an event by an organization that appears in Activists’ Guide Directory of Organizations the entry will appear in the AG Calendar.

Activists’ Guide Directory of Organizations is reviewed at six-month intervals to ensure its accuracy.

On the day

August 28. On this day in 1963 Martin Luther King Jr. gave his "I have a dream" speech at the march on Washington.

Today's Quote

These additional terroristic threats against the Jewish community are alarming, to say the least,
said Mr. Gottheimer, a Democrat whose district includes Bergen County, N.J., which has a large
Jewish population.
The key is to stand up and fight it, and not back down, and make it very clear that we will not cower.
