Participants will lead a peaceful ( non-violent ) protest march in support of Black Lives Matter and demand justice for victims of police brutality and excessive force. People do not need to be in drag to attend.
People are urged to wear face masks ( and if individuals produce them, they are asked to bring some for others ) and to bring hand sanitizer.
