MATSUI STATEMENT ON MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. DAY

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Congresswoman Doris Matsui (CA-07) issued the following statement commemorating Martin Luther King Jr. Day. 

“The legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. reminds us that progress has never come from comfort, but from people willing to stand together and demand justice,” said Congresswoman Matsui. “In Sacramento, a city shaped by generations of civil rights leaders and community advocates, we know that the fight for racial justice has always been driven by love, compassion, and collective action. Dr. King stood up during an unprecedented time in history, when racism, fear, and division were used to hold people back. Today, as our country once again faces uncertainty and Americans’ civil rights are under attack, we are called to meet this moment with the same courage, moral clarity, and determination that defined his legacy.”
