It will be a family friendly event. Come march with us!!

We have two groups:

• Group A is meeting up at 11:30 at the Pearl and will march from the Pearl to the Alamo at noon, to arrive at the Alamo by 1pm.

• Group B will be at the Alamo (for those who do not want to or cannot march) at 1pm. We plan to have a rally afterwards with guest speakers on nutrition, organic gardening, fitness/wellness, GMOs, and live music.

For information on getting back to the Pearl, you can follow this link for buses that run from downtown to the Pearl: http://goo.gl/maps/Djuhl (http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fgoo.gl%2Fmaps%2FDjuhl&h=MAQGHBRNp&s=1)

Parking is available at the Pearl. For parking downtown, look behind the federal building, on on the streets around the area. Most meters downtown are free on evenings and weekends, but be sure to check the one you use.
