You have questions. Good.
You're thinking carefully about the best way for you to participate in this historic march. This page covers some of the most common questions, but if you don't see yours here, ask. If you're thinking it, someone else probably is too.
Yes, but it is being planned with accessibility in mind. You can participate in different ways, including marching, attending rallies, joining support crew, or helping remotely. We encourage anyone planning to march to start preparing now by building up their daily walking distance gradually.

This is a permitted, nonviolent march on public routes. There is no intention for arrest at any point.
