No one likes litter, John.

When lots of people gather together, you can guarantee two things: it will be powerful and inspiring, and it will also produce a lot of trash.

You may not know this, but we pay for trash pick-up after all of our marches. We want to make sure that we leave D.C. cleaner than we found it and respect our neighbors, but the truth is that trash pick-up isn’t cheap.

We need $15,000 to pay for trash cans, trucks, and the labor to remove all the trash. Can you chip in $11 right now and be one of 1,364 people we need to cover the trash pick-up?

We’re asking everyone to bring reusable water bottles, but we know that with thousands of people there will be lots of signs, flyers, and tiny items that people accidentally leave behind.

We will have hundreds of volunteers helping out and trash stations available, but we still need a trash service to come pick up the garbage and take it away.

If just one in five people reading this donated $11, we could meet our trash budget today. That means we could focus our funds on more exciting initiatives (that don’t involve porta potties or trash), but first we need to make sure these basic needs are met.

Chip in $11 now and be one of the 1,364 people we need to meet our $15,000 trash budget.

With your help, on January 18th we can take out the trash on the streets – and, come November (or sooner), we'll take out the trash in the White House.

Thank you for owning a piece of this march.
