NO KINGS 3 MARCH: TRAVEL TOGETHER FROM KENSINGTON TO MANHATTAN (OR MEET IN MANHATTAN)

This is a meetup spot for neighbors to gather to help carry art. From here, we’ll head to the main march in Manhattan together. This is not a separate march.
We will meet near Church Ave and E. 7th St (address on RSVP). Be prepared to carry some art and hang out with your neighbors. We will leave at 12pm sharp and head to the F train. From there we will head to the meet up spot in Manhattan to join the rest of our crew at 1pm.
Wear your walking shoes and bring your water bottle, but don’t bring a sign—we need folks to hold many beautiful flowers, butterflies and other art as a part of the gorgeous spring field we will be carrying through the march!
Please also sign up here for more details and to be part of this powerful work of art: https://www.mobilize.us/indivisiblenationbk/event/917478.
