A DAY OF NATIONAL DEMONSTRATIONS TO CAUSE A STRUCTURAL CHANGE OF THE SO CALLED JUSTICE SYSTEM
THE MARCH: iamWE Prison Advocacy Network is forever humbled to be hosting the upcoming March on Washington DC.
We would like to add a few updated details about this event.
Date: Saturday August 19th
Time: 11:30am-12:00pm March
12:00pm- 5:00pm Rally
EMAIL:
DEMONSTRATION:
We can confirm that the location has been moved from the National Mall area, to the front area of the White House. The speakers stage will be set up in Lafayette Park. Many of the prisoners that called for this demonstration from behind the wall, are excited about this change in location. Particularly due to the symbolism of the White House and those racist/fascist mind sets that currently occupy that seat of power.
MARCH:
There will be an actual March taking place, proceeding the rally, beginning at 11:30 am. The details of the March route are still being finalized and will be made public in the coming weeks.
SPEAKERS:
We have a number of dynamic and diverse selection of speakers already approved by the National MPOC Committee and voices from behind the wall. We want to ensure that those attending the March will have a powerful and memorable experience. A list of speakers will be forthcoming.
EQUIPMENT NEEDED:
This is a People Power Movement. We are 100% grassroots. We are not sponsored by any donors. Many associated costs for this event have come from the organizers pockets personally. We would like to request for any person(s) or organization(s) to help facilitate, donate, or loan the following:
