In the non-violent resistance tradition of Dr. King, we will gather at the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Statue at 495 Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard, Newark, NJ 07102 on Saturday, January 18, 2025.

We will rally for 1/2 hour from 11:30 to noon to join the Solidarity Singers in songs of the Civil Rights Movement.

At 12:00, representatives of the many and varied endorsing organizations will encourage us. These include civil rights, labor and business, faith-based, environmental, anti-poverty, anti-war, immigrant and women’s rights organizations.

At 1:00 those who are able will march to Broad St., Newark and back. Dress in layers and wear comfortable shoes, as it will be cold.
