#MLK Day 2023 - Cut Wood in Preparation for MLK Day
In 2023, L.A. Works will continue our long tradition of honoring Dr. King’s legacy by empowering Angelenos to take collective action in the fight for food and climate justice. While the root cause is systemic white supremacy, the symptoms are that Black, Brown, Indigenous, and low income people have access to the unhealthiest foods and are bearing a disproportionate impact from climate disruptions.
MLK Day of Service’s success is truly dependent on the preparation leading up to our biggest day of service! We’re looking for individuals who enjoy lifting up their sleeves to help out in any way they can and are comfortable using power tools to help us lift and cut wood in our office leading up to MLK Day.
