MLK Day 2022 - Ways to Give Back
Jan 17, 2022 | Seattle Pride
As many of us know in 2022, Martin Luther King Jr. Day is not just a static celebration of past civil rights achievements, but an impetus for action as we continue to move towards racial equity.
That’s why on MLK Day 2022, Seattle Pride encourages all of our LGBTQIA+ and allied community members to do something that furthers racial equity - whether it’s a protest in solidarity with Black community members or a phone call to your congressperson to pass voting rights legislation.
Learn more about opportunities to celebrate MLK Day 2022 and support Black community members by checking out these articles below:
