Eight Free Tickets for First Year Members: This year, a generous League member has offered to donate tickets for 8 new members. Please send an email to membership@lwvbae.org if you want to receive a donated ticket. Sorry, but this offer is only for first year members, and public office holders are not eligible.

When you buy your own ticket, please tell Phyllis Gale at  voterservices@lwvbae.org that you have done so, so that we know the names of all the League members who will attend.

This annual gathering brings the community together in a joyful, moving and meaningful way to promote peace, non-violence, justice and a beloved and healthy community. The organizers report that last year’s celebration was an amazing community event with over 400 people.  This year they expect as many or more civic, faith, community, business and youth leaders.  The organizers intend to use the celebration at HS Lordships in the Berkeley Marina  to celebrate Dr. King’s legacy and reaffirm our commitment to building a more just and loving community.
