SUMMARY:Hands Across Stand Together
DESCRIPTION:Save the date for this year’s Hands Across Stand Together event on Friday, August 28, 2026—a citywide expression of unity, belonging, and community support. Last year’s inaugural event brought 800 people together across Lexington in a 6‑mile human chain, seen by 15,000 vehicles and widely covered in local media. Here are two quick video links that capture the spirit of the day: Lexington community to form human chain for unity event Thursday Lexington community gathers for Unity event on anniversary of MLK’s ‘I Have a Dream’ speech   We’re building a broader coalition this year, and we would be honored to include you. How Your Group Can Participate Join us anywhere along the route from noon to 1 p.m., holding a message of what you value for a thriving, united community. Promote the event on your website or social media and encourage members to participate or host neighborhood gatherings. Register interest here: https://forms.gle/BbUiQtCKevPr6Kua7 Support materials and supplies—financial or in‑kind contributions help us produce signs, T‑shirts, and route signage. Why It Matters A peaceful, public human chain across Lexington sends a clear message: our community chooses compassion, dignity, and belonging. Whether 800 or 8,000 people join us, this visible act of unity strengthens our city and encourages others to do the same.
