In 1967, Martin Luther King Jr. said “planetize the movement” calling for a creative mal-adjustment to what were the norms of societal justice and human rights of the day. He asked “Why adjust to insanity? Mal-adjust to right work”. Thankfully today we have eloquent activists like Drew Dellinger who continue to carry this encouragement, to ask provocatively, “What did we do when we knew?” Based on years of study with Thomas Berry, and in-depth survey of the writings and sermons of Martin Luther King Jr., Drew Dellinger connects ecology, cosmology and justice with humanity’s path into a sustainable future through the poetic. Drew is a spoken word poet, teacher, writer, activist and founder of Poets for Global Justice. He has shared the stage with Brian Swimme, Van Jones, Ani DiFranco, Paul Hawken, Alice Walker, Robert Kennedy Jr and others.
