We are joining together with our friends in the Plum Village community.
Schedule:
9:30 a.m. – Begin arriving at Upper Senate Park (see attached map)
10:00 a.m. – 11:a.m. Gathering together for meditation, singing, mindful walking
11:00 – Start to walk mindfully to the rally site.
12 p.m. - March for Our Lives is scheduled to begin.
Wise logistical guidance from Plum Village:
• A very large crowd is expected. Metro will be crowded.
• Cell phones might not work during the event so leave home early enough that you can join us before we leave the Upper Senate Park at 11 a.m.
• Think to buy SmartTrip cards or add money to the cards in advance.
• Metro has created a page with information about getting to the march. It will open at 7 a.m. on Saturday, and add trains to accommodate the march.
• Metro information page: https://www.wmata.com/rider-gui…/travel-to-national-mall.cfm
• Although there have been no clear guidelines about backpacks or signs, it would be best to carry a small backpack.
• If you make signs try to avoid using sticks that might be misconstrued as "weapons."
• Everyone should carry water and food.
• Access to restrooms may be limited.
• It has been suggested that to identify ourselves we wear brown and / or wear a paper or cloth sunflower.
• Late breaking information about the mindfulness community's participation in the March will be posted on our Plum Village Community FaceBook Events page: https://www.facebook.com/events/163785511098797/
