On Monday, January 15th, 2024 we celebrate the life and work of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. who dedicated his life to the pursuit of radical racial justice. Dr. King fought for civil rights, for social justice, and against state violence. We take inspiration from radical activists from the past who tirelessly work for change like Dr. King.
At GardenShare we are fighting against the food insecurity that impacts so many of us in St. Lawrence County. This exhaustive task is made easier by the many organizations who provide immediate support throughout our community. Together, our efforts strive to combat the immediate effects of food insecurity while working towards long-term solutions for our local food system.
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. day is the only federal holiday dedicated specifically to encourage citizens to volunteer in their communities. As you celebrate Dr. King's legacy we ask you to reflect on the ways you can help address an immediate need, as well as fight towards system change.
