As we approach Martin Luther King Jr. Day on January 20, we are reminded of the profound impact Dr. King had on civil rights and social justice. This day is not only a time to honor the legacy of a man who courageously championed equality and justice, but also a moment to reflect on how we can embody the principles he advocated for. Observing MLK Day gives us the opportunity to pause and consider the ways in which we can contribute to these ideals, both in our communities and within ourselves.<\/p>\n

To observe MLK Day, we are encouraging our employees to think of ways they could honor Dr. King’s vision in their personal and professional lives, and we want to extend the same consideration to our incredible customers and our broader communities. Our employees will be marking the occasion with the option to participate in a 100 Acts of Kindness Challenge, an MLK panel discussion, and a few local parades.<\/p>\n

Whether you\u2019re observing or engaging through outreach programs, community events, thoughtful discussions about equality and justice, advocacy programs, or creative projects, we hope this day gives you a chance to embrace Dr. King\u2019s legacy and reflect on the ways you are impacting others.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
