The Kingdom Day Committee decided to postpone the event. This ensures that emergency resources, including fire and law enforcement personnel, stay fully available to handle the crisis. “We need our city’s emergency agencies to keep serving the communities. These are the communities that need them most,” said Dr. Adrian Dove, Chairman and Executive Producer of the Kingdom Day Parade.

“This decision reflects our respect and compassion for those affected by this monumental tragedy,” added Dr. Dove. “Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. stood for service and love for our neighbors. In his honor, CORE-CA joins countless Angelenos in supporting relief efforts and encourages everyone to contribute where they can”

Commitment to Community Service

The parade’s leadership emphasized their dedication to aiding those in need. This includes President and Event Producer Sabra Waddy. They stressed this commitment during this difficult time. The organization is actively participating in relief efforts across the affected areas, demonstrating a steadfast commitment to service beyond celebration.

Although postponed, this year’s theme, “Peace and Unity: Let It Start With Us,” remains significant. It reminds us of the resilience and strength found in unity as communities come together to support one another.

The Kingdom Day Committee extends heartfelt gratitude to emergency responders, community leaders, and volunteers tirelessly working to aid those affected. “We look forward to gathering soon to celebrate Dr. King’s enduring legacy of peace, unity, and service,” said Sabra Waddy, KDP President and Event Producer.
