LOS ANGELES - Californer -- The 40th Annual Kingdom Day Parade, originally scheduled for January 18, has been postponed prioritizing the safety and well-being of Los Angeles residents amid ongoing wildfire recovery efforts. This decision, supported by the Office of the Mayor and numerous community leaders, underscores a commitment to the city's immediate needs during this challenging time.

The Kingdom Day Committee made the postponement decision to ensure that emergency resources, including fire and law enforcement personnel, remain fully available to address the crisis. "We want to ensure our city's emergency agencies can continue to serve 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."
