Today, we honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s vision for a better world. Dr. King believed in action and equality, and that change is possible when we support each other. That’s what we’re working toward when we show up to protect the people and places we love.
Whether it’s volunteering to protect our wild spaces or supporting your local community, there are many ways to be part of something greater. If you’re looking for where to start, connect with a nonprofit organization near you through Patagonia Action Works at https://t.co/VKnz4N9SSo
