WHO SHOULD MARCH?

Everyone.

We are doing our best to accommodate people of all abilities. For those that cannot march at all, we will have seating reserved so you can participate by supporting our speakers and artists in Civic Center Park.

​EVENT SAFETY TIPS

PERSONAL TIPS FOR BEFORE THE EVENT AND WHEN YOU ARRIVE:
  • Dress warmly and in layers. Temperatures can change rapidly when you are moving or standing in a crowd.
  • Have your cell phone fully charged but also have an emergency contact memorized or written down in the event your battery is dead or cell service is not available.
  • Have snacks, water and any medications you take regularly in the event you cannot get home as quickly as planned.
  • Bring identification and have emergency cash on your person.
  • Do not carry a large backpack or bag and never leave any bag or personal item unattended.
  • Drones are not allowed at the March. They will be confiscated by law enforcement and the owner will be cited.
  • Always have an emergency plan and communicate that with friends ahead of time.
  • Know what you will do in the event of an emergency (know the closest exit, identify a safe location to move to if warranted, identify a meet-up location with family/friends).
  • Take note of where law enforcement and Peacekeepers (wearing security vests) are posted.
  • If you see anything suspicious, bring it to the attention of a law enforcement officer or Womxn’s March Peacekeeper (they will be wearing yellow safety vest and are posted all along the route and in the park).
  • You many encounter individuals who disagree with our beliefs. Remain calm and do not engage with them.  Stay alert and bring the disruptive behavior to the attention of Peacekeepers.
EMERGENCY SAFETY TIPS
  • Remain calm and mindful.
  • Take cover and listen for any direction from organizers or law enforcement.
  • If necessary, put your emergency plan into action and calmly exit the area to a safe location.
IF YOU SEE SOMETHING, SAY SOMETHING.
