Martin Luther King Jr. Birthday – TJC and Partners’ National Day of Action, Monday, January 15th, 2024

January 15 @ 8:00 am - 5:00 pm

Transformative Justice Coalition’s call for a Day of Action consistent with the theme of the 95th Anniversary of the birthday of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. The King Center’s theme for 2024 is  “Shifting the Cultural Climate through the Study and Practice of Kingian Nonviolence”.

Since November 20th, 2023, TJC has been covering the disastrous ruling of the 8th Circuit in Arkansas NAACP vs. Arkansas Board of Apportionment, which bars private citizens and organizations the ability to file racial discrimination cases in voting under Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act. Prior to the Holiday Break, TJC and its partners formed an organizing convening group to help create national awareness about this threat to our voting rights and to pursue a strategy to win this battle. Based on this work, TJC and its Partners are issuing a Call To Action for the 2024 MLK Day.
