Bill was passionate, vocal and risk-taking about the enduring values, peace and justice.

Family and moral values are so central to everything that I am.

We do not have a money problem in America. We have a values and priorities problem.

The challenge of social justice is to evoke a sense of community that we need to make our nation a better place, just as we make it a safer place.

We must always refill and ensure there is a critical mass of leaders and activists committed to nonviolence and racial and economic justice who will keep seeding and building transforming movements.

Together we can and must fight for justice for our children and protect them from draconian tax cuts and budget choices that threaten their survival, education and preparation for the future. If they are not ready for tomorrow, neither is America.
