Racial Ethnic Diversity & Matthew 25 Invites you to join them!

As we pursue the love and shalom of Jesus, Denver Presbytery invites you to engage in racial justice on this Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Monday, January 16th!

JOIN
Walk with fellow Presbyterians in the Denver Martin Luther King Marade (march+parade), commemorating the life and legacy of Dr. King and the movement for civil rights. Meet at 10:15 at Thatcher Fountain near the MLK memorial, in the southwest corner of City Park. Learn More→

ENGAGE
Whether you march in the Marade or not, all are welcome to join in a lunch and racial justice engagement event (Racial Wealth Gap Simulation) at Central Presbyterian Church (1660 Sherman St. Denver) at 12:30. This is a great opportunity for  churches to engage their Matthew 25 values or explore and learn more about systemic racism.

READ
Consider reading some of Dr. King's most challenging and poignant correspondence--especially for us Christians--connecting our lives in 2023 to the struggle of 1963. Read the brief "Letters From Birmingham Jail".

WATCH
Mass incarceration is a prominent feature of our nation's historic racial inequality, continuing this day as it suppresses African-American and people of color's lives and communities. Watch Netflix's film "13th" to learn more about the apparatus of mass incarceration and systemic racism.
