In his Letter from a Birmingham Jail, Dr. King memorably said: "We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly". Our present precarious circumstances make Dr. Kings words abundantly clear. We face war, climate chaos, a pandemic, inequality, hunger and poverty. The perils confronting humankind are unprecedented. And always looming in the background are doomsday weapons that can destroy our precious planet. The threats are accumulating, Noam Chomsky says, We are approaching the most dangerous point in human history. We are now facing the prospect of the destruction of organized human life on Earth.
