The City of Santa Clarita, in partnership with the Human Relations Roundtable, is launching the inaugural Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. (MLK) Service Celebration. 

Residents are invited to perform acts of kindness and service to both celebrate the life of Dr. King and continue his legacy in Santa Clarita.

On Monday, Jan. 18, join Mayor Bill Miranda, members of the Santa Clarita City Council and the Human Relations Roundtable, for a special video program that explores the life of Dr. King, as well as the wisdom and virtues he championed in the speeches he gave, according to the City.

The video is set to air on the City of Santa Clarita’s Facebook page and YouTube channel, and will be broadcast by SCVTV (AT&T Channel 99 and Spectrum Channel 20) at 10 a.m. SCVTV will rebroadcast the program at 7:00 p.m., while it will be archived and available to watch any time after the morning premiere on the City’s YouTube channel.

“Now more than ever, we are called to be a beacon of light for those in need in our community. By studying Dr. King’s words, incorporating his teachings into our daily lives and committing to serve others, we can help build the world we want our future generations to inherit,” said Miranda.

Following the video program, residents are encouraged to visit scvhumanrelations.com to download a checklist of Acts of Kindness and Service that can be performed in the community. These acts can be completed by people of all ages and range from simple tasks, such as writing a letter of gratitude to a first responder, to more involved, such as volunteering time and paying for a stranger’s groceries.

As you work your way through the checklist, be sure to track your progress and share your acts of kindness with the City on social media using #MLKinSCV. In addition to photos, residents are encouraged to post videos of themselves, sharing how Dr. King’s legacy impacts their daily life.To learn more about the MLK Service Celebration in Santa Clarita and the Human Relations Roundtable, visit here.
