WHERE can I park in DC? What are some tasty black owned eateries? I might drive out there later.
Should I go or just watch it on TV?
You see how they do us when we gather. I don't wanna be in the mix if more crazy wypipo show up with guns just cuz they know we are protesting.

Instigated from the protest movement that has risen up since the police killing of George Floyd, the ‘Get Off Our Necks’ Commitment March on Washington will be a day of action that will demonstrate our commitment to fighting for policing and criminal justice.

The Commitment March will take place on August 28th 2020 — the 57th anniversary of the historical March on Washington, where Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his “I Have a Dream” speech.

Let us know if you will be marching with us in D.C. on August 28th!

I was going to go but cancelled. Covid makes me double think EVERYTHING and I hate it.

I also dont feel like this march was providing enough information or motivation for mobilization. Like there was no buzz like it could have been ESPECIALLY considering this year stakes. Maybe they didnt do as much because of covid as well? I dont know but I'm supporting from home.

I was gonna be masked up regardless. I'm from NY and our coronavirus rates are very low. I will be staying in Baltimore with family. I know that DC and Maryland aren't on our restricted states list. But with thousands of people around you from all over the country, you can't be too cautious.

Plus, I checked the weather and it's supposed to be 92°

I'm just reluctant at this point. I don't like to sweat and I still don't trust these racist people who might invade the march

WE ARE MARCHING. On August 28th, 2020, on the Mall in Washington D.C., we are recommitting to the dreams of Martin Luther King Jr. left unaddressed. This is a Commitment March, not a commemoration march, and we are marching for policing and criminal justice reform.

Today is a chance for people around the nation to gather together to confront racial injustices in our police precincts and courthouses. We’ve been here before, but this time we know that it is necessary to redefine public safety in order to save black lives. Whether they are rallying on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial or from the safety of their homes and community streets, people are meeting this moment with demands and hope for change.

Today is a day that all across the nation, in the midst of stacked pandemics – COVID-19 and racism – we address the national government and demand improved policing practices so that we stop the unwarranted killing and incarcerations of black people.

SCHEDULE OF EVENTS
7 am

Gather
8 am – 11 am

Pre-Program
11 am – 1 am

Program
1 pm

March
3 pm

Conclusion

SPEAKER LINEUP
Speakers will include the families of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Eric Garner, and others led by Attorney Benjamin Crump, who will address the senseless loss of Black lives at the hands of police and advocate for issues including police accountability, criminal justice reform, voter protection and more.

Additional speakers include Reverend Al Sharpton, Martin Luther King, III, Congressman Al Green, Joy Reid, Yolanda Renee King, Rep. Joyce Beatty, and Randi Weingarten

We are in a historic moment in the country, where the confluence of TWO PANDEMICS COVID-19 AND POLICE BRUTALITY have uncovered the gross inequities that continue to persist in our society due to structural racism.

It is time to redefine public safety to uproot systemic racism, inequity, and white supremacy. As such we must vigorously engage in the democratic process through the ballot box and census as a mechanism to achieving transformation.

To meet this moment, we propose encouraging voter engagement and census participation as levers in support of the following agenda.

Not going but I'm watching and listing for as long as it'll be on. God bless all in attendance, those who will speak and the organizers for The March on Washington 2020. I can already see that everyone is practicing responsible social distancing and wearing mask.

don't park in DC unless you're prepared to pay $$. Otherwise you can park at a metro station and take the train, bus or bike.

They have a lot of major streets blocked. So public transportation is your best option. I'm going to be home, I have little ones.

Make sure you take your mask because they're making sure to keep everyone safe with Temperature checks. Wrist bands. Free hand sanitizer:

Ok, so I am home watching on TV, but I told my husband how I don't trust white people. Plus I wanted to wear my black leaders t-shirt which is black also. But that 92° ain't gonna fly. I don't like sweating, standing for long periods of time, or having my clothes stick to me.

You may think I'm very lazy, but I am 40+ and prefer to be comfortable. All the heroes and water bottles that I bought yesterday are still in my freezer. I will support by donating to the various charities

Wow!! Ok, look at us WORK!!! THIS is something that the Republicans will NEVER DO! They are way too negligent and irresponsible! They don't care about their constituents or their citizens.

I'm glad that the necessary precautions are being taken. ❤

The march on Washington telling women to forgive men because their manhood has been taken away? How are women supposed supplement black men’s manhood? What about the black men killed by each other, and black women wonder why black women are grouped in with trans women and called masculine by the same men when they get access to white society is because other black women brow beat into their daughters head that their blackness and self is to be tied with men. Black women don’t want any rights on their own.

Nope. I'm not building up no man, I don't care if he's green.

That was Jacob Blake's sister saying that. Interesting considering how abusive he has been toward multiple women in his life.
