COVID SAFETY MEASURES
Women's March takes the spread of COVID-19 seriously. Our top priority is
to make sure everyone feels comfortable and safe.
Masks: We highly recommend that attendees bring and wear their own mask
(ideally an N95) at all times during the event.
If you are sick, please stay safe and stay home. View full guidelines

WHAT TO BRING
* Comfortable walking shoes
* Small backpacks and bags are allowed. We recommend you fill them with
water, snacks, and hand warmers.
* A sign
* A portable phone charger
* Your feminist spirit, your defiance of injustice, and your demands to
protect our freedoms
WHAT NOT TO BRING
* Any weapons, or anything that can be construed as a weapon, including
pocket knives, multi-tools, mace, scissors, etc.
* Any illegal drugs
* Coat-hanger imagery: We do not want to accidentally reinforce the
right-wing talking points that self-managed abortions are dangerous,
scary, and harmful.
* Handmaid’s Tale theme: The use of Handmaid's Tale imagery to
characterize the controlling of women’s reproduction has proliferated,
primarily by white women across the country, since the show has gained
popularity. This message continues to create more fragmentation, often
around race and class, because it erases the fact that Black women,
undocumented women, incarcerated women, poor women, and disabled women
have always had their reproduction freedom controlled in this country.
This is not a dystopian past or future.
ACCESSIBILITY
Women’s March is committed to making this March accessible. We are also
dedicated to our goal of making all participants feel welcome, safe,
heard, thought of, and cared for.

And that’s it! Thanks for making it to the end of this email,
John. Our
goal is that everyone who comes to Phoenix has a safe, positive, and
engaging experience at the March.
We can’t wait to see you out there!
