“Even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream.” – Martin Luther King, Jr.

On this MLK Day (January 20, 2025), we reflect on the powerful legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., whose dream of justice, equality, and dignity for all continues to inspire us.

With the many challenges our country is currently facing, Dr. King’s message against racial discrimination, inequality, and economic injustice rings as true today as it did in his lifetime.

Amida Care’s mission and ongoing work—putting advocacy at the center of health care—are deeply connected to Dr. King’s pioneering activism. More than 50 years after his death, his values and vision for the nation continue to be a guiding light.

As health advocates, we understand that the well-being of our communities is intertwined with justice and equity. Our mission is to ensure that everyone – people impacted by HIV/AIDS, POC, LGBQ+, and Transgender people – receives the care and respect they deserve so they can live their best lives. Revitalized and motivated by Dr. King’s words, Amida Care is recommitting to continue fighting for the communities we serve.

As we celebrate his legacy, I invite you to take this moment to reflect on Dr. King’s teachings and join us in working to realize his vision of social, economic, racial, and health justice for all.
