Art Build & RCNV MLK March Group

Join the Resource Center for Nonviolence (RCNV) as we kick off our 50th Anniversary Year! We invite our Beloved Community to a sign-making art build and to march together as we prepare to honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s powerful legacy of nonviolence and love.

Roll up your sleeves and help us make vibrant, inspiring signs for Santa Cruz MLK March on Monday, January 19. We'll provide all the art supplies—just bring your creativity and passion for justice.

Join the RCNV Marching Group on MLK Day • 10 AM, Monday, January 19 (MLK Day)

The camaraderie and commitment continues on the MLK holiday! We invite you to join the official RCNV contingent marching in Santa Cruz's 2026 MLK People's March for the Dream. Bring your friends and family! Location: Downtown Santa Cruz (specific location TBA - registered attendees will receive an update)

📋 Please RSVP – It Helps Us Prepare!

Your RSVP for one or both events helps us immensely as we purchase art supplies, refreshments, and coordinate our group for the march.

The art build and march are our first public gatherings of this historic year. We invite you to begin celebrating 50 years of RCNV's unwavering response to violence with love and resolve. As we craft our messages, we'll commemorate Dr. King's legacy of nonviolent power and affirm our shared commitment to cultivating a just and peaceful future.

We are so grateful for our Beloved Community. Come help us launch our 50th year with creativity, purpose, and love. Let's build, march, and dream together. Another world is possible and we're committed to helping to bring it to life.
