Join Us for MLK Day of Service in Los Angeles
Partners: Human Rights Campaign and AIDS Project Los Angeles
Let's come together as a community for MLK Day of Service. Taking place in January, MLK Day of Service is a "day on, not a day off." It is a way to transform Dr. King's life and teachings into community action to help bring together people, strengthen communities, and meet national challenges.
One such challenge is supporting members of our communities affected by HIV/AIDS. HRC and AIDS Project Los Angeles (APLA) invite you to partner with us on a service project benefiting people with HIV / AIDS in our Los Angeles community. As an HRC supporter, you have seen first-hand how we can make an impact when we join together and take action.
