March for Our Lives ~ Downers Grove

The survivors of the Florida school shooting are organizing a march in DC for Saturday, March 24th. Friends Who March & The Brady Campaign are organizing a sister march in Downers Grove. We will gather at the Downers Grove North High School Main Street Parking Lot at 11am. The March will begin promptly at noon. We will march down Main Street to the Main Street Train Station. WE WILL NOT CROSS THE TRACKS. We ask for you to then either walk on the sidewalks back to your vehicle or arrange a pickup at the end location. We want student groups to take the baton as this is their march. They will lead the march & can organize marchers. This does not mean that adults can’t march as well. It is open to all. We are going to have an organizing meeting next week in Downers Grove for people who want to get involved. We will update this event when that is confirmed. We also need to deliver flyers to all the residents on the parade route to inform them of the street closures for that day. We will pass out those flyers at the organizing meeting. We would love to have a sign making party too before the event & would love for students to organize this. If you want to take charge of this please let us know. If your group would like to co-host or you would like to be involved please message the page or email FriendsWhoMarch@gmail.com. #Enough #MarchForOurLivesDG
