Out of an abundance of caution, South Coast AQMD’s 9th Annual Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. event scheduled for Saturday, January 15, 2022, will now be conducted in a virtual format only. The decision to make this a virtual event is a precautionary step to protect the health of all program participants and attendees taking into consideration the increasing spread of the omicron variant. We look forward to you joining us virtually to remember the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. to inspire us to work for social and environmental justice.
