I'll be there with baby in tow.... Bring signs and banners! (see specifics below). https://oneearthsangha.org/programs/peoples-climate- mobilization/ Here is the info from their website:At the main PCM event in Washington DC, the Mindfulness / Buddhist Community will come together at 9:30 am at Upper Senate Park, near the start of the March. There we will gather our collective attention and awaken our collective intention with sitting, walking, or chanting under the leadership of members of various Buddhist traditions. You'll have the opportunity to greet old dharma friends and meet new ones.
Pending a final and expected permit, our plan is to convene in Upper Senate Park near the Capitol Building, a 5-minute walk from Union Station, the nearest Metro stop. The park is bordered by Delaware, New Jersey, and Constitution Avenues (map here). Look for Dharma banners near the round fountain on the upper level starting at 9:30 am.
We will practice together until around 10:45 am at which time we will begin walking together to join the larger Inter-Faith Community as it lines up for the march, probably on 3rd Street in front of the Capitol (final details to follow).
Bring signs and banners! These can be hand-held or supported by wooden or PVC pipe poles. However, the poles cannot exceed ¾ inches in diameter and must have blunt ends and no protruding nails. Our permit allows us to bring signs and banners and display them in the park, but when we walk as a group to 3rd St. we need to keep them furled until we join the larger Inter-Faith and PCM group, which will have a formal march permit.
