WHERE WE’RE MEETING

Bus Drop Off_arrowWe are gathering at 1:00 pm at Los Angeles City Hall (200 N Spring St). This is 0.4 miles from the Civic Center metro station on the Red and Purple Lines, and along major bus and bike routes.

The buses will drop off at 1st and Main Street. (See photo to the left) and pick up in the loading zone on 5th Street between Olive and Hill Streets.


WHERE WE’RE MARCHING

The march will open with a rally at City Hall. We will then march approximately 1 mile through Downtown L.A. with a stop at SoCal Gas Headquarters.

The front of the march will be led by frontline community members and youth. Throughout the march there will be music, chants, and much more. Bring your creative energy!

We will have signs and banners to share, but you are of course, welcome to bring your own. Click here to download flyers, posters and other resources available.
