We’ll be offering water and placards. For more information on logistics or transportation, please plan to coordinate with your international union. The nearest Metro stops are Federal Triangle and Smithsonian.

 

We’ll be honoring organizers’ vision by taking collective action to end systemic injustice, protect our rights at the voting booth and our freedom to organize and more.
