14th Annual Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day Clean Up, Peace March, and Celebration
Dr. King called us to a radical love—one that shows up, cares for our neighbors, and takes action to advance justice even in the face of injustice. For those who have been organizing, serving, and carrying this work for years, MLK Day is a moment to continue building together, refresh their batteries, and call others to their work. For those who are new or unsure where to begin, it is an invitation to start with one meaningful step: show up and roll up your sleeves. On Monday, January 19th, 2026, we invite you to honor Dr. King’s legacy not just in words, but through community care and service, knowing that every act, small or sustained, helps move us closer to the world he imagined.
West Side Grows Together and I Am My Sister's Keeper/MSK Community Center, along with Be Ready CDC, Delaware Nature Society, Girls Like Us Empowerment Group, Humbly Assisting Humanity, The Jefferson Street Center, National Health Corps Delaware, Network Connect, Public Allies Delaware, West End Neighborhood House, Wilmington Peacekeepers, and our incredible neighbors are coming together once again to strengthen our community with intention and action.
How You Can Take Action at Our Event:
✅ Join our community clean up
✅ Participate in a “done-in-a-day” service project led by local organizations
✅ Engage with local advocates and grassroots organizations to find opportunities for year-round advocacy
✅ Enjoy free food and fellowship with neighbors
✅ Connect with resources and get help you may need
✅ Take part in family-friendly activities
✅ Support local entrepreneurs at our small business marketplace
When we show up for each other—whether through picking up trash, building relationships, or advocating for change—we carry forward Dr. King’s vision of a beloved community, where love and care for each other is our resistance against injustice.
Let’s serve together. Let’s grow together. Let’s continue the movement. Will you join us?
