BRIDGE Martin Luther King day of service
Date/Time
Location
Multicultural Bridge (17 Main St. Suite B, Lee, MA 01238, Lee MA)
Multicultural BRIDGE invites the community to a meaningful day celebrating the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., organized locally under the national 2025 theme, ‘Mission Impossible: Protecting Freedom, Justice, and Democracy.’
BRIDGE’s home theme is ‘Serving Love, Joy and Unity in our Beloved Community as an act of resistance,’ BRIDGE says, ‘as many of community members feel threats and anxieties intensifying each day with our new administration taking seat that same day. Join us in creating pathways of resistance in our community!’
Many of the programs take place at BRIDGE’s Solidarity House at 965 Main St. in Great Barrington or at locations below.

Service projects include:
Mutual Aid Distribution and Delivery and we will read a MLK Speech together over lunch. Sort and organize seeds. Catalog books. Set up the new BRIDGE Solidarity Swap Shop and move furniture for our transitional housing sites.
‘Annually we do a project with our sister Church, Macedonia Baptist Church,’ BRIDGE says, ‘and we look forward to putting a shine on over there for their 80th year! We will have letter writing for incarcerated and elderly related to our community and also we will accept donations for all feminine wellness and hygiene products for wellbeing, job interviews and menstrual care for our survivors and experiencers of violence and discrimination!’
BRIDGE will also hold a community conversation on Ruha Benjamin and her Imagination — a Manifesto. The conversation and book talk is happening twice, in Great Barrington on January 20 and at Mass MoCA on February 13.
You can sign up for the Black Feminist Bookclub by BRIDGE and Mass MoCA through Mass MoCA. On registration, you will receive a complimentary copy of the book shipped directly to you, along with admission to the museum for the day. For the book chat on MLK evening, you can download the book on audible, and you are also welcome to join us even if you haven’t started or finished, as long as you don’t mind spoilers.
