April 4th Rally and Candlelight Vigil

Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated on April 4, 1968, in Memphis, Tenn., where he was standing with sanitation workers demanding their dream of a better life. Today, the right to bargain collectively for a voice at work and a middle-class life are under attack as never before.

People across America-black, white, Latino and Asian American-are electrified by that same dream and are standing up for the right to join together for our common dreams. A series of labor events in Denver will culminate in a Candlelight Vigil at the Denver City Park from 5:30 – 7:30 pm at the City Park, Bandshell Facility East 17th Ave and Steele St.

Featuring: AFM 760’s Mario Solis-Marich, Nita Gonzales, Alan Gilbert, Andrea Merida, Henry Roman, Jeff Englehart, and many more
