Save the Date: King Hall's MLK Day of Service and Celebration

Save the date for King Hall's upcoming Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service and Celebration. 

From the UC Davis School of Law Office for Student Affairs: 

On January 15, 2024, King Hall's Black Law Students Association along with the MLK Day working group and the Office for Student Affairs will be hosting the 5th Annual Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service and Celebration! This will be a great opportunity to give back to the local community. Our events in 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023 (pictured above) were a great success and we know this year's will be as well!

This year's activities will include:

• A donation drive for Wellspring Women's Center in Sacramento. We will be collecting donations at the School of Law on MLK Day (1/15/24) from 10 am until 3 pm. We are also going to have three volunteer days here where community members can help feed the women and children at the Center (1/12, 1/16 and 1/17).
• A blood drive at the School of Law on MLK Day.
• Service day at Fourth and Hope on the morning of MLK Day. Projects will include: painting, cleaning up and more at Fourth and Hope.

This year's guest speaker is Superior Court Judge Allison Williams. Prior to being appointed as a superior court judge by Governor Gavin Newsom in 2021, Judge Williams served as an attorney for 15 years at the Sacramento Public Defender's Office. Judge Williams is originally from Guayana, but, was raised in the cities of Oakland and Hayward. She is one of only three attorneys ever to be appointed as a superior court judge after working for the Sacramento Public Defender's Office, and the first in the last 30 years.

Join us at the School of Law at noon on MLK Day for lunch and remarks from Judge Williams! Individuals will also be able to watch from home via Zoom if you are unable to join us in person.

Registration information will be available soon!
