For example, there may be public unrest surrounding the march. The organizers cannot guarantee your safety and security, so please know that you are participating at your own risk.
Are there ID or minimum age requirements to enter the event?
No, but we recommend ID and a cell phone for everyone in case you get separated from the group. If you bring a young person, supervision is your responsibility. It may be difficult to find rest rooms. Also, it can be VERY COLD in January in NYC, so dress accordingly.
What can I bring into the event?
- Bring a fully charged cell phone, and be sure your correct cell phone number is on the list before you board.
- The March on NYC permits signs and banners. If you bring a sign, it must be folded or rolled up so that it can be safely stored while the bus is in transit. You are responsible for carrying your sign during the March.
- You may leave items on the bus with the driver, but we are not responsible for loss or theft.
Food & Drink
We recommend that you bring a sack lunch & water, as the crowds will make it difficult to buy lunch. We will have refreshments on the bus for the ride home.
