March on Washington Aug. 26 with MLK’s family, ADL & partners

On Friday, August 25 at 7:00 p.m., we will be hosting a special ADL Community Shabbat Dinner at the Capital Hilton in Washington, DC to kick-off the 60th anniversary of the March on Washington. The dinner will feature a fireside chat with award winning Chef and author of Kosher Soul Michael Twitty. Space is limited and will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis. Reserve your space today by registering here.

ADL leaders were at the original March 60 years ago with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and other civil rights leaders to witness the historic “I Have a Dream” speech. This year we are honored to be co-chairing this momentous event which is not a commemoration, but a continuation of that landmark moment in the fight against hate and to secure justice and fair treatment for all.

If you need hotel accommodations for Shabbat observance, we have reserved a block of rooms at the Capital Hilton. You can book a room here.

ADL will join MLK’s family, the Drum Major Institute, the National Action Network, NAACP, NUL, LCCHR, Lawyers Committee, NAACP LDF, NCNW, The National Coalition, Unidos and AAJC in marching and speaking out for civil rights and against hate. The ADL community will lead Jewish communal participation in the March to demonstrate a strong show of support for our partners in the fight for democracy, social justice and civil rights.
