MLK Day is the only federal holiday that is also a National Day of Service , designed to be a "a dayon, not a day off." Marches associated with MLK honor his use of peaceful pubic ptrotest to confront unjust laws and practices.

This day and everyday matters to combine learning, marching, and sevice throughout our every day lives to show youth and adults around the world the importants of show up, speak out , and service and justice TOGETHER.
