GATHERING: The Coalition has reserved the tables in the East Wing Rotunda.

DEPARTURE: The program will last one hour. Departure time will depend on your groups arrangements.

Feel free to visit your local legislators either before or after the rally.

TIPS: Remember to wear very comfortable flat shoes. Through out the Capitol building cobble stones make walking a little challenging.

We encourage you to bring signs, posters, and noise makers. However, no sticks or posts are permitted.
