CELEBRATIONS & COMMUNITY CONNECTION
January Observances
As we move into January, our community continues to uplift compassion, culture, and connection. Over the past few weeks, many in our community marked meaningful holidays and observances, including Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, and the New Year. We honor the joy, reflection, rest, and resilience these moments can hold, and we recognize that this season looks and feels different for each of us.
This time invites us to continue honoring traditions rooted in human dignity, shared joy, and collective care.
- Wed. January 14 Makar Sankranti — A Hindu seasonal celebration marking the sun’s transition northward, observed across South Asia.
- Mon. January 19 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day — Honoring the life and legacy of Dr. King and his enduring call to justice and collective responsibility.
