The March and Rally are this Monday, January 16th! We can’t wait to see you!

Our Youth Event and Workshops are happening leading up to the event. Check out what is happening next here!


There has been over 400 years of oppression of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color; which includes human trafficking, enslavement, genocide, torture, disenfranchisement, segregation, imprisonment, dispossession of land, and so much more, and yet none of this has ever broken the spirit of our Peoples to achieve justice and equity.

2023 marks forty years that the residents of Seattle and King County have and continue to honor the legacy and the mission of Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. with a rally, march, internships, workshops, youth led programming and job fair. The first forty years were but the beginning. Seattle's annual MLK celebration aims to inspire this and future generations to live up to Dr. King's dream of achieving the Beloved Community.

This year, we are coming together on the anniversary of Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. 's birthday, honoring the past and the countless champions who came before, stood alongside, and have continued after King was taken from us, fighting for both our present and our future because “an injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”

For inspiration, watch a music video by Pato Banton, honoring the legacy of Dr. King. Sponsored by Compassion Games.
