DESCRIPTION:Join thousands of marchers as we honor the Selma, Alabama, to Montgomery, 
 Alabama marches and the Voting Rights Act of 1965 by experiencing the 
 MLK2026 commemorative march from San Francisco's Caltrain Station to Yerba 
 Buena Gardens.\n\nThe 2026 MLK March is a poignant and symbolic journey 
 that pays homage to the historic Selma to Montgomery marches and the 
 monumental Voting Rights Act of 1965. Spanning 1.5 miles, this 
 commemorative march and parade begins at San Francisco's Caltrain Station 
 and winds its way through the heart of the city, ultimately culminating at 
 the serene Yerba Buena Gardens.\n\nThousands of participants, representing 
 diverse backgrounds, join together in unity, echoing the spirit of 
 solidarity that defined the civil rights movement. As the march progresses, 
 it becomes a living tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s unwavering 
 dedication to justice and equality.\n\nThe march's profound conclusion 
 takes place at Yerba Buena Gardens, where an interfaith commemoration, in 
 partnership with the San Francisco Interfaith Council, further underscores 
 the importance of unity and faith in the pursuit of social progress. This 
 moment of reflection and unity reminds us of the ongoing struggle for civil 
 rights and the need to continue marching forward towards a more just and 
 inclusive society.\n\nThe annual march begins at 11:00am, and marchers are 
 encouraged to arrive 
 early.\n\n____________________________________________________________\n\nFREE
