The observance will be organized by the Martin Luther King, Jr. commission and will feature various events and moments of service aimed at uplifting Dr. King's ideals and fostering community unity. The theme for the 2026 holiday is "Mission Possible Two: Building Community, Uniting a Nation the Nonviolent Way," reflecting Dr. King's commitment to civil rights and social justice.

The resolution emphasizes the importance of Dr. King's teachings, particularly his belief that "injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere," and recognizes the diverse communities of New Mexico as a representation of his multicultural vision. It calls for the commemoration of Dr. King's legacy and directs that copies of the memorial be sent to key state officials, including the governor and legislative leaders.
