If you’re planning on marching, it would help us to know how many are marching, and to know to expect you. If you make a last minute decision to march, feel free to join us anyway. Please try to be there by the kickoff time.
It’s summer, and it’s hot, so take care of yourself and bring water and sunscreen. Please be aware that it may not be possible to join the march after kick off, as, in the name of security, the NYPD has said they will not allow it. You might be able to sneak past them, but if you’d rather not risk a run in with the cops (and there have been several in recent years) do join us before we start.
