The family of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. asked that we all celebrate his birthday through action to support voting rights, human rights and democracy. This weekend, the LWV of Washtenaw County is asking you to take three actions, one each day, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday in his honor. All three will strengthen our effort to protect the right to vote and stand against racism.
