MLK Day Rally and March Peacekeeper volunteers work in pairs to ensure the march is peaceful and safe for all participants. This includes helping to maintain social-distancing, wearing masks and other safety precautions related to COVID-19. See additional guidance here
Volunteers are strongly encouraged to attend a virtual training prior to volunteering:
*Training time Saturday January 16th from 11am-12:30pm.
Your Volunteer Supervisor will contact you with additional information about the training, which reviews what the day looks like, communications protocols, and other important details. If you or your group is unable to attend the training contact your volunteer supervisor (you'll receive contact information in January.)
Volunteers will:
- Be dispersed strategically at rally and help ensure community safety
- Assemble and direct marchers immediately following the rally at starting point
- Guide and manage crowds from Garfield to the end-point for a brief program
- Help marchers access buses and/or continue marching to return to Garfield
- Ensure communication with march leaders if any issues arise during the rally and/or march
Snacks will be served to all interested volunteers and marchers back at end-point. Please visit our site for regular updates on workshops, march and rally www.seattlemlkcoalition.org #MLKSeattle
