“Beloved Community: Love is Our Resistance"Join us in living Dr. King’s vision through service, community aid, and collective action that strengthens our neighborhood.
Dr. King called us to a radical love—one that shows up, cares for our neighbors, and takes action to advance justice. On Monday, January 19th, 2026, we invite you to not only celebrate his legacy, but to live it throughcommunity care and service.
West Side Grows Together and I Am My Sister's Keeper/MSK Community Center, along with Be Ready CDC, Delaware Nature Society, Girls Like Us Empowerment Group, Humbly Assisting Humanity, The Jefferson Street Center, National Health Corps Delaware, Public Allies Delaware, West End Neighborhood House, Wilmington Peacekeepers, and our incredible neighbors are coming together once again to strengthen our community with intention and action.
How You Can Take Action at Our Event:
✅ Join our community clean up
✅ Participate in a “done-in-a-day” service project led by local organizations
✅ Engage with local advocates and grassroots organizations to find opportunities for year-round advocacy
✅ Enjoy free food and fellowship with neighbors
✅ Connect with resources and get help you may need
✅ Take part in family-friendly activities
✅ Support local entrepreneurs at our small business marketplace
When we show up for each other—whether through picking up trash, building relationships, or advocating for change—we carry forward Dr. King’s vision of a beloved community, where love and care for each other is our resistance against injustice.
Let’s serve together. Let’s grow together. Let’s continue the movement. Will you join us?
