We are just 3 days away from the Commitment March in Washington DC convened by Reverend Al Sharpton and Martin Luther King, III. Our intergenerational day of action will demonstrate our commitment to fighting for policing and criminal justice. The Commitment March will take place on August 28th, 2020 - the 57th anniversary of the historical March on Washington, where Martin Luther King, Jr. delivered his "I Have a Dream" speech.    

Please read the following ADA information regarding the Commitment March. 

 

ADA Shuttle Services

Each mobility shuttle will have a placard identifying it as an “ADA Shuttle.” Shuttles will take persons with disabilities to and from: Lincoln Memorial, RFK Stadium, Union Station, Foggy Bottom, and Potomac Avenue Station. If you are NOT coming in on a bus, and riding WMATA (Metro) please go to Foggy Bottom Metro Stop on the ORANGE BLUE or SILVER lines. You will then be directed to the Shuttle Bus that will bring you to the Lincoln Memorial. 

All shuttles will adhere to include social distancing guidelines from DC. Department of Health. You will have to get your temperature checked before you gain access to the Shuttles. 

Shuttles will begin service at each stop at 6:00 AM. They will continue on 30-40 minute increments for stops due to traffic flow. The last pick up for each location will be 10:30 AM bringing attendees to the Lincoln Memorial. Shuttle Services will pick back up at 1 PM taking participants back to Foggy Bottom and their Buses. Buses for departure will be at both Henry Bacon Drive for those who DO NOT march and at West Potomac Park for those who do march. At 4:30 PM the last shuttle will depart the Lincoln Memorial and West Potomac Park taking participants back to their Buses and to Foggy Bottom.
