Independent Journalism in Phoenix Needs You
We need to raise $15,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
So it’s Martin Luther King Day and you’re required to work. That’s a toughie. You want to honor one of the most important figures of the 20th century, but you don’t want to imply that your boss is racist by making a big stink. We recommend playing a quiet game of hooky by faking sick and heading out to Mesa’s Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration. The hourlong Unity Parade starts in Old Town Mesa, then travels to Mesa Amphitheatre, for a community festival that lasts from noon to 3pm.
