🗓️ Honoring MLK with a day of service

For many of us, Monday, January 15 is a day away from school and work. But before you make plans for the long weekend, remember that we all have the chance to honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. by participating in a day of service.

Get the whole family involved: Our colleague Adrienne Broom and the Bold ERG have provided a list of ideas for how to honor Dr. King by volunteering, educating or simply spreading kindness, both in-person and virtually.

💬 Tell us in the comments: Do you have plans to honor Dr. King’s legacy over the MLK holiday weekend? Whether it’s through service, sharing or solidarity, tell us your plan for making this an impactful day of service.
