The 23rd Annual Detroit MLK Day Rally and March will take place on Monday, January 19 at 12pm. The rally will take place at the historic St. Matthew’s and St. Joseph’s Episcopal Church located at 8850 Woodard, Detroit.

The event will be streamed live. The link will be available on the MLK website, mlkdetroit.org by Sunday. The rally lineup will also be available on the website.

Following the rally will be a short march through the local neighborhood. The temperature is expected to be between 10 and 20 degrees F, so if you plan on marching, please dress appropriately. 

Following the march will be a community meal, spoken word and video messages from New York, Venezuela, and Europe.

Parking in the lot south of the church will be restricted to people with disabilities, others who are delivering the food and materials for the event. There is plenty of parking north of the church in the Considine Rec Center parking lot, across the street and on the side streets. Please refer to the map included in this email.

Volunteers needed 

Volunteers will be needed to help setup the church on Sunday, Jan. 18, beginning at noon. Show up at that time if you would like to assist. 

If you would like to volunteer on the day of the event as an usher, parking lot attendant, food service worker, and for other tasks, please show up at 10am. We will also need help transitioning from the rally in the sanctuary to the community meal and program in the Fellowship hall next to the sanctuary.

In peace and solidarity,
Detroit MLK Day Committee
