About Me

Aaron Dixon feels very fortunate to have parents who taught him from an early age the importance of standing up, not only for the rights of individuals but for humanity as a whole. As an adolescent, he marched with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. to end housing discrimination in Seattle, and was one of the first volunteers to participate in the busing program to integrate schools. As a young adult, he was appointed Captain of the Seattle Chapter of the Black Panther Party (BPP).
Through the BPP, Aaron served his community for ten years in numerous ways. He advocated for black high school students when their civil liberties were violated; he started the Free Breakfast for School Children program that fed thousands of hungry African American children; and he helped to open a free community medical and legal clinic. Aaronâ€™s legacy of leadership during these years made a long-lasting, positive impact. The free medical clinic continues to this day as the Carolyn Downs Clinic, now part of Country Doctor Community Health Center. Aaron also became involved in electoral politics when he worked on the mayoral campaign of Lionel Wilson, who was elected as the first black mayor of Oakland in 1977.TO GET UP TO DATE INFORMATION ON THE AARON DIXON FOR US SENATE CAMPAIGN PLEASE VISIT www.dixon4senate.com NOTE: This page is maintained by volunteers, all correspondence to Mr. Dixon will be forwarded to him directly.

My Interests

WWW.DIXON4SENATE.COM

I'd like to meet:

Greenparty

Movies:

The State of Washington has the opportunity to do something in this nation like no other state. We have the ability to elect a "strong" anti-war candidate who has dedicated his entire life to the "struggle" for human rights, justice and equality. Aaron can neither be bought nor sold, he is a true soldier for Righteousness in every sense of the word. Even if you aren't in Washington State you can lend your support to the RESURRECTION OF THE MOVEMENT. WE HAVE TO TAKE A STAND, TAKE BACK OUR COUNTRY AND SAY TO THE WAR MONGERING US GOVERNMENT...'NOT IN OUR NAME' !!!!!!!!

Television:

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. Hate multiplies hate, violence multiplies violence, and toughness multiplies toughness in a descending spiral of destruction....The chain reaction of evil--hate begetting hate, wars producing more wars--must be broken, or we shall be plunged into the dark abyss of annihilation. Martin Luther King, Jr., Strength To Love, 1963.WWW.DIXON4SENATE.COM

Books:

Power at its best is love implementing the demands of justice. Justice at its best is love correcting everything that stands against love.WWW.DIXON4SENATE.COMMartin Luther King, Jr., Where Do We Go from Here: Chaos or Community?, 1967.

Heroes:

A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual death. Martin Luther King, Jr., Where Do We Go from Here: Chaos or Community?, 1967.WWW.DIXON4SENATE.COM
