Bend Solidarity March
September 3, 2019
$65 – $75In solidarity with the Women’s March on Washington, and similar actions occurring throughout the nation, the Juniper Group of the Sierra Club will join a coalition of local groups and individuals to encourage your participation in the BEND SOLIDARITY MARCH on January 21.
“This family-friendly event will highlight the power of intersectional communities in resistance against hate, fear and oppression in all its forms. The recent election indisputably shows us that everything we value is under assault.
We cannot stay silent, and we will not stay seated. We will stand up with one voice about all progressive issues. We are feminists, we are people of color, we are planet protectors, we are LGBTQI, we are allies, we are seniors, we are teachers and healers, mothers and fathers and brothers and sisters. We are everyone and we are strong.”
DETAILS: Assemble at Drake Park at 11 AM.
After a short rally, we will orderly march on the sidewalks via a designated route through downtown Bend, ending at Riverfront Park (Crow’s Feet Commons) off Brooks Alley behind the Tower Theater.
At the Commons we will listen to a few short speakers, be entertained by music, and will also have an “open mic” format through which groups or individuals may briefly express VALUES and actions we may consider to defend those values.
