The staging point for the march is the Northlake Festival Shopping Center. Please, park in the rear of the parking lot and avoid parking in front of the Goodwill store. Parking where Bally's Fitness or Toy R US once were, would be respectful to the tenants of the shopping center. We will march down La Vista Rd, cross the I-285 overpass, cross La Vista Rd, and return to the Northlake Festival shopping center. This is a peaceful protest. No violent or vulgar behavior will be tolerated. If you can't complete to march route, please stand on the sidewalk with your sign anywhere along the march route. If you will be late, we still need you to show up. Better late than never.
Be prepared for hot weather. Bring water, a snack and sunscreen.
