We are working on securing the permits for the March. There will be three parts:
- Rally: Headline speakers will address the challenges facing science and scientists today and the impact on society, this will launch the march (location to be announced soon)
- March: 1-2 mile walk through downtown San Francisco with options for groups to march together, sharing messages.
- Celebrate Science at the Earth Day Festival: the March will end at the annual Earth Day event at the Civic Center Plaza (see below)
As soon as the permits are secured, we will be able to announce the Rally location. Stay tuned!
