COVID PRECAUTIONS
-
COVID infections remain a risk, especially for vulnerable individuals and communities. The March to End Fossil Fuels will take place entirely outdoors, which substantially reduces the risk of infection.
-
Anyone traveling in a group by bus or train is strongly encouraged to wear a mask during their travels. Wearing a mask is also encouraged during any indoor activities before or after the march.
-
Masks are required at the volunteer art builds preceding the march. More info here.
-
Anyone who feels sick or experiences any COVID symptoms should stay home and not attend the march.
