Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. once said, "Injustice anywhere
is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of
mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly,
affects all indirectly." For the past 20 years, America has recognized
each third Monday in January as a national day of service. MLK Day of Service
is considered a “day on, not a day off” especially by SBP.
The SBP-NY regional team is happy to celebrate the impactful
contributions of renowned civil rights activist Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. who
dedicated his life to achieving equality and eradicating social injustices. SBP
certainly shares Dr. King’s vision of a “beloved community”.
The Corporation for National & Community Service
acknowledges the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. annually through
nationwide community service projects. This year, SBP-NY’s AmeriCorps and
regional staff teams will honor the visionary leader by participating in meaningful
rebuilding activities in Rockaway.
“Life’s most persistent and urgent question is: What are you
doing for others?” -Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. This MLK Day, the SBP-NY
regional team encourages you to pledge your advocacy for communities and
citizens in need. More than 40 years after passing, Dr. King’s legacy lives on
through his example of incorporating community service in our daily lives.
Thank you Dr. King for your incomparable leadership and devotion to social
justice. To learn about SBP-NY’s direct rebuilding efforts, please visit our
