Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day. 19 January, 2026

Today, we honor the life and vision of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. The spirit of this holiday is best captured by Dr. King’s own words: "Life's most persistent and urgent question is, 'What are you doing for others?'"

Instead of just a day of rest, make this a day of service. Dr. King’s dream wasn't a passive wish; it was a call to action for justice, equality, and the "Beloved Community." Let this holiday motivate and guide everyone to dedicate time to volunteering and serving others, advocating for those in need, and educating ourselves and others in order to increase awareness about the unmet needs of older adults, people with disabilities, veterans, caregivers, and all community members.

Today and everyday, let’s all honor Dr. King’s Legacy.
