Martin Luther King Day, Monday Boulder Event by Barrack Obama 2012 Election Campaign
Jan 11th
Friend –Martin Luther King, Jr. Day is this Monday, and we’re commemorating it over the next several days with service opportunities to help build the kind of future that he envisioned.
Some of us will be pitching in at food and clothing drives. Others will help out with neighborhood cleanup, education projects, blood drives, or other events. This movement has always been about more than winning one election. It’s about empowering others and strengthening the communities where we live. There’s a chance to get involved in Boulder on Monday. Can you join? What: Martin Luther King, Jr. Day event in BoulderWhere: 1107 pearl st
Boulder, CO 80302 When: Monday, January 16th When President Obama dedicated the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial in D.C., he reminded us that change never comes quickly or easily — it requires determination and relentlessness in the face of adversity. The work we do is about reshaping our communities and our nation for the better. As we remember Dr. King and honor his legacy, let’s get out in our neighborhoods and fight for the causes we share and a country where everyone has a fair shot. I hope you can join the service event this Monday: http://my.barackobama.com/MLK-Day-Service Thanks, Michael Michael Blake P.S. — If you can’t make it to this event, please consider finding other service opportunities at www.serve.gov— it’s a great website that helps volunteers find ways to get involved in their area. |
