🎒 WHAT TO BRING
Come prepared for a long and powerful day outside:
Water
Sunscreen
Hat
Comfortable walking shoes
Refillable water bottle
Check the weather before you leave and plan accordingly.
🚇 GETTING TO THE LINCOLN MEMORIAL
Metro is strongly encouraged.
Foggy Bottom–GWU, on the Blue, Orange, and Silver lines, is the closest Metro station to the Lincoln Memorial.
Smithsonian, also on the Blue, Orange, and Silver lines, is another option, but allow additional walking time and expect heavier crowds.
🚗 Driving?
There is no dedicated March participant parking at the Lincoln Memorial.
Limited metered street parking and commercial garages are available in Foggy Bottom and downtown Washington, but availability is not guaranteed.
Traffic, street closures, and event-day restrictions may affect access, so leave plenty of extra time.
🚌 IMPORTANT BUS UPDATE
People Power United shared our bus interest form with the main March organizers so they could help connect people with available transportation.
Organizers contacted people when they identified buses with available spaces near them.
If you have not heard from a bus organizer by now, we recommend making alternative transportation arrangements rather than waiting for a bus connection.
If getting to Washington is not possible, please join us virtually instead.

This is the first I've heard about this. I am shocked because while I am unable to attend I have been thinking that the way to stop Trump and his MAGI movement is for 15 million people to march on Washington and physically stop them. Of course, that seems like a pipe dream in the same way John and Yoko's War Is Over If You Want It was. How bad do enough people actually want it to put thier lives on the line. I really do not trust the Democrat establishment to do the right thing.
