MARCH ON WASHINGTON 8/28/2020 "GET YOUR KNEE OFF OUR NECKS" - Honoring 57th year since King's speech

The march, which organizers say will "demonstrate our advocacy for comprehensive police accountability reform, the Census, and mobilizing voters for the November elections" will begin with a rally at the Lincoln Memorial. Participants in Washington D.C. will then march to the Martin Luther King, Jr. memorial in West Potomac Park, next to the National Mall.

This is one of several marches that have marked the anniversary of the 1963 civil rights demonstration where King spoke, but this year's demonstration will likely look a lot different due to the coronavirus pandemic.

HOW TO GET THERE, WHAT TO WEAR, SAFETY MEASURES, etc......
