Sponsored by ArtPeacemakers, the 19th Annual WalKING event is going virtual this year!
We won’t be walking all together on MLK Day this year, but we can keep the flame alive by encouraging all kinds of offerings to Dr. King’s legacy through these activities: Mindful writing, music & art-maKING, acts of kindness, nonviolence, donations, community service & walKING meditations around the Cape and around the world…anywhere, any time... but esp. from now through MLK’s birthday 1/15, MLK day 1/18 and through Inauguration Day until 1/21/21.
JOIN US wherever you are: Send your selfies, art, writing, music links by tagging your Instagram and FB posts #MLKlives2021 (thru 1/21)
ArtPeacemakers will also be collecting drop-offs for the Wellfleet Food Pantry on Mon. JAN 18th, MLK day from 11 am til 1 pm.
