Held annually on the third Monday of January, Martin Luther King Jr. Day is a national day of service and time to recommit ourselves to aiding others. Dr. King devoted his life to advancing equality, social justice, and economic opportunity for all. We may not be able to come together in our communities this year, but we can still make it "a day on, not a day off."

Relax. Relate. Release. (RRR)
Monday, Jan. 18 — Sunday, Jan. 24
Relax. Relate. Release., or RRR, is a community-engaged project that Stephanie J. Woods began in 2018. She invites participants to take a seat and write a response to a question. The goal is to stimulate reflection and conversations in what she considers to be a meditative space for those who seek to maintain their dignity in the face of prejudice, aggression, and violence.
We will be sharing these written responses throughout the next two weeks on our social media accounts. Your responses will remain anonymous.
